If Romney had chosen to incessantly talk about Benghazi, he would have forced the media to cover it. He chose not to talk about it even though it was the one issue gaining traction.
He was too TIMID. That’s the charge against him.
If the real campaign happens AFTER the conventions, then Romney was playing prevent defense for almost the entire game.

Palin supporter here and the main reason is she calls it like she sees it and is not PC.
Yes, Romney played it too safe and middle of the road, but that is the only kind of candidate the Republicans will allow to run.
That being said, Romney is the squeaky cleanest candidate we could have put up this cycle. Any other candidate would have been trashed a lot more than he was and the outcome may have been a greater margin for the Dems.
Until we can produce a truly conservative candidate that can win the primaries, we will always be stuck with a milquetoast candidate. It would take years to rev up a viable 3rd party to counter this, but I think it may be the only way left...
