Neither could Hillary or McCain. And Huckabee couldn’t beat McCain. And Romney couldn’t beat Huckabee. (how pathetic is that?) Let’s just keep going with your idiot-logic... Rudy Toot couldn’t beat Romney. Thompson couldn’t beat Rudy Toot......
Intra-party primaries don’t always produce the best general election candidates.
But you’re probably right about all those things, except that Romney couldn’t beat Huckabee. He clearly had more support, Huck just stayed in longer to rack up just enough delegates to edge out Mitt so he could falsely claim he was the runner up.
But it’s probably best that we pick a candidate who is far better than any of the weak sauce that was offered up to the GOP in 2007/2008. I’m not interested in going back and refighting those battles. I don’t want to refight 2008 against 0bama. I want to move forward into the future, find a better candidate with a new message. I’m not interested in Romney vs. Huckabee or Palin vs. 0bama. Those are all last year’s battles. I’m looking to the future, and looking for the next leader to step forward.
