The MSM helped Romney, just as they helped Obama. Almost from the beginning of the primaries, the MSM was referring to Romney as the frontrunner, even when he wasn’t.
Just like the MSM wanted Obama, they wanted Romney and we are stuck with him. The only saving grace is Ryan.
Oh, yes, the MSM will help 0bama. If the conservative primary candidates couldn't even pass the first barrier when the terrain was more familiar and accepting, I cannot see how they can survive the general election. What happened is simple. Romney being the nominee is a sign of conservatives failure, not his campaign's success.
Conservatives was handed the same thing in 2008. They whined then, and instead of learning from the experience and did it differently, they did exactly the same in 2012. And what did they do now? Whining more, of course.
