It's doubtful that 2 million or so voters changed their minds because of what Mitt Romney might have said about Benghazi.

This is about settling personal scores within the campaign and putting the blame firmly on somebody else's shoulders rather than one's own.

“damned Conservative”, jackass
You missed my point. Any conservative who didn't take the time to vote because Romney wasn't conservative enough should be damned...staying home gave 4 more years if this Obamanation...and millions of them didnt show up. I didn't like Sanford, but I voted for him because the other choice was a lib dem. (by the way, isn't name-calling against FR rules?)

Oh, I didn’t realize McCain was an incumbant president. He ran a lousy campoaign against McCain and he ran a lousy campaign against Obama. The man was a loser and the dorks who belived he could win have give away this country. I hope they can sleep at night.

To things:
just because someone did not vote for Romney does not mean they did not vote
when you say damned Conservatives (or anyone) you are condemning them to hell, you do not have the authority to decide whether someone should go to hell
To sum it all up - you are jackass
Report me, I will stand by jackass, I would think asking God to send someone to hell is worse than calling you an animal.
As a side note Romney was not a conservative.

1) Did they actually believe he would win -- or just that he was more likely to win than the other candidates in the race?

2) Who's the candidate you had who was more likely to win?

I never understood why Romney didn’t question them both right there. How is it you just happen to have that Rose Garden statement? Have you provided Pres Obama with the questions being asked tonite?

He just looked stunned, and let it pass.

I knew he was done, stick a fork in it after that.....

He lost because many non-Democrat voters did not even vote! Idiots all! If this was their way of “making their point,” they got what they deserved and sent my country farther down the road to destruction.

Good grief, the epople who run the RNC are the dumbest people in the world...

Dumb? Or making just as much money with the "Inside the Beltway" money machine as the hard left Democrats are?

The GOP elite don't want to lose money any more than the stickey-fingered Democrats do. Protect the status quo, party hardy, and to hell with all of us out in fly-over country seems to be the attitude.

Romney lost because he looked too slick, was a Mormon and was perceived to be a rubber stamp for Wall Street.

May the purpose of McPain and Romney is to resurrect the image of Tom Dewey, who actually talked a little more conservative than those two did.

Yes, Ryan should have been suspect when he just let ol’ Joe walk all over him in that “debate”. Just like Kemp, Ryan’s old mentor, did with Gore; Ryan should be dropped from further presidential consideration.

I still wonder why people in WY so idolize the aging Alan Kooi Simpson. Now, his father, Milward Simpson, was a real conservative.

Romney came on strong during the first debate then something went wrong. I don’t know if it was bad advice or what.

Do you think that these non-voters might have voted if they thought that a man who conspired to let Americans die would be sent back to the White House?

Look on you tube for the second debate with Candy Crowley. About an hour and 10 minutes in they discuss Benghazi. He had an opportunity to win the election with a couple questions. Instead he let Crowley change the subject and took a seat.

Any one of them would have stood a better chance than Romney. He was a fool and he proved it by being the biggest loser this country has seen since McCain.
