Too smart by 1/2; the whole Romney team was wrong on 2 things: 1) Mitt wasn’t a conservative (and refused to run that way).
2) It’s the “grassroots”, stupid! They relied upon their “high tech” micro-programming (LAZY) rather than the old fashioned way of door knocking, and calling everyone.
IDIOTS..
those who noticed, Mitt was like this from day 1. (against grassroots activities) When Fred Thompson dropped out of NH in ‘08, a group of us in western NH hit every town for McCain to beat Mitt. Mitt’s strategy was to do everything from central Hdqtrs in Boston/Manchester.
The locals notice when you don’t show up. Some of the little towns, we smoked Mitt by 3 to 1 even though it was close statewide.
In ‘12, Mitt finished 3rd place in western NH small towns behind Huntsman and ronPaul. Mitt does suburbs, but never small towns.
OH FL VA IA WS CO NV ... do any of those swing states have small towns?
