Romney’s liberal record so compromised him that he was unable to attack Obama on a whole range of issues due to fear of Obama using his own positions from just a few years earlier to make him look like a hypocrite. Whether its Cap and Trade, ObamaCare, gun control, gays in the military, religious freedom or even illegal aliens, Romney took these issues off the table because his own record on these issues was not dissimilar to the Obama record.

Then he should've run as a an open Liberal instead of pretending to be a Conservative.

At least then we could finally put to rest the fool notion that The Republican Party needs to be more like The RAT Party in order to win elections.

Ask Scott Brown how that worked for him.

This double sucks. Not only did a Liberal Republican lose, The Right still gets blamed for it.

Screw it. I don't care. The truth is the truth. If people are too stupid or too lazy to figure that out for themselves, that's not going to stop me from spouting it.

The Right still gets blamed for it.

The blame wont last long. This is NOT the first time Romney has lost but let's hope it's the last time he loses (as a "Republican")

Romney himself has too much of a history and too many videos out there that expose him as our version of an Algore/John Kerry.

Scott Brown was as good a candidate and US Senator as we could possibly dream up for MA—and he may make it back to the Senate yet.

I see some “discussion” of Romney’s Mormanism as a contributing factor to his defeat but I haven’t seen anyone really analyze this factor. Were there enough “base” conservative voters turned off by his religion to sway the election? It seem plausible at least as plausible as any other factor.
