I have to believe Romney had every intention of winning. You could see it in his final weeks. I do agree that many on his team probably were not committed to do what needed to be done. Parts of this campaign were managed beautifully. Others, not well at all.
Then why do GOP candidates repeatedly and knowingly hire incompetent staff? EVERY ELECTION?
Seems funny that in light of the same post election stories of GOP incompetent campaign management, they go to the same failed people.
That is not intent to win.
I agree. Romney wanted to win and I think he was deeply hurt and shocked when he didn’t.
I know Ann is the one who has MS but there were a couple of times that I noticed Romney walking oddly, as if his back was really bothering him.
Romney and Ryan campaigned their rear-ends off and I think they left and trusted much of the rest to the campaign team.
I grew to like the man. Not his politics but the man. He was a hard worker. He wanted this and he could taste it. I don’t think he will ever be the same again.
I think his sister coming out proves how hurt and shocked Romney was over the loss. Big sisters do that when they see their younger siblings hurting. They want to kick everyone’s arse then. :)
