We really never had a chance. Our slate was pathetic and people here were clueless, flitting from one favorite to the next and trashing everyone else.
It’s not hard for me to vote for Romney. Not my choice but not hard at all when I consider the alternative.
Look at it this way. Romney may have a couple hundred negatives. Obama probably thousands, millions, billions and even trillions of negatives!
It wasn’t hard to go from one to the other, since our candidates kept dropping out. Then it came down to Rick and Newt and people acted like their choice was a saint and the other was satan, when they should have liked both.
I think that broke between social conservatives and fiscal. Now we have the Country Club choice which is a small step in the right direction. Lots of platitudes and reaching out to moderates and taking the Conservatives/Tea Party for granted.
