Anyone who thinks Romney, Thompson, Giuliani, or Huckabee were gonna beat Obama being outspent 6 to 1 and getting 80% negative press compared to the fawning adoring coverage Obama received is crazy.

No Republican will ever win unless they can go around the media and connect to the people like Reagen and even Bush did.

No candidate will ever again accept the limitations of public financing, so the 6:1 spending ratio will not exist in the future. McCain has only himself to blame for being so naive.

FDT was lackluster against his fellow FOP, but he could have beaten the MSM (and Obama).
