You cant win a race when you throw away your compass and run in the wrong direction telling yourself you are ahead.

The truth of that statement transcends politics. David Bronstein wrote about a 1953 chess game, "To lose one's objectivity toward a position is tantamount to losing the game."

I would agree with that analogy a lot more, if you could provide specific examples of policy you thought Romney/Ryan were hawking that revealed they were running in the wrong direction.

If you look at the speeches in the waning days of the campaign, I see very little evidence of what you are describing.

Am I missing something you two saw? Could be. Explain to me what it was.
