Romney was a crappy candidate who ran a crappy campaign but Akin, Foster Friess, and Mourdock saying stupid stuff didnt help either.
Republicans really wasted the 2010 victory by screwing around. This party really is a mess.
Coulter from second link to her article : To the extent Republicans have a problem with their candidates, it's not that they're not conservative enough. Where are today's Nelson Rockefellers, Arlen Specters or George H.W. Bushes? Happily, they have gone the way of leprosy.
Having vanquished liberal Republicans, the party's problem now runs more along the lines of moron showoffs, trying to impress tea partiers like Jenny Beth Martin by taking insane positions on rape exceptions for abortion — as 2 million babies are killed every year from pregnancies having nothing to do with rape.
Romney lost because he was running against an incumbent, was beaten up during a long and vicious primary fight, and ran in a year with a very different electorate from 1980. At least one of those won't be true next time. But we're not going to win any elections by telling ourselves fairy tales about a candidate who lost because he wasn't conservative enough, articulate enough or mean enough.”
Hey SOL, long time no see brother...
Good call out on Coulter.

Ann (Braindead) Coulter.
W lost because Romney treated Obama like he was a legitimate candidate instead of a loser. And yes Ann, you love-struck idiot, we also lost because Romney is a LIBERAL !!
