if he didn’t want the job, why did he run in all the primaries for the nomination? (and he ran vigorously against a couple of other candidates I rather liked ... he wasn’t just coasting thru those primaries!)
I don’t buy this “never wanted the job anyway” story
BUT he sure looked like he changed his mind when he got into the general election. he gave that election away, almost (nobody could be quite) as bad as McCain did. DAMMIT!
He wanted it but never wanted it enough. Romney and McCain wasted everyone’s time. It’s like the people who say they want to lose weight, but a year later they haven’t lost anything.
