I really wish Hunter had done better, but you cant blame his non-success on the media, even though the MSM was in the tank for McCain and Huckabee for some time. ... *candidates* have to win.

So why in the world are you blaming Romney's failures on us???

As far as "we told you so," I've seen months of FReepers telling Romney supporters that he can't win, especially in the South. You backed him anyway, which is your prerogative. But by your own reasoning, you bear the blame for McCain and/or Hillary, by not backing a candidate who could win (especially in the South). By your reasoning you should be on the receiving end of the "we told you sos" if/when Hillary/Obama win.

Personally I think that veryone who supported the candidate of our conscience, without regard for faulty crystal ball assessments of electability, did the right thing.

Romney actually did great, he got more votes than McCain did, has won almost as many states and votes as McCain.
The only problem is the conservative vote split off.

Result?
Bigots 1, Thinking Conservatives 0

PS. Romney won 7 states today so I’d call it partial SUCCESS, not failure.

The real failure is not Romney, he is a successful man who has run a very good campaign which got close to winning, but probably not quite.

I WILL STILL SUPPORT HIM AND VOTE FOR HIM NO MATTER WHAT.

The real failure is with the conservative base, which failed to come to a single unifying candidate to stop McCain.

OUR failure to rally to Romney is OUR LOSS, not his.
