We allowed independents and democrats to pick our nominee. Then We spent three months whining about each of our hundreds of grievances about said nominee. The primaries are where our salvation is. We need to know what we want, as a party, and work toward that goal.
Mitt the guy with the strange hair that NOBODY could relate to.
Another smooth talking governor from Arkansas (who has the dumbest show on TV right now).
A national hero NY mayor who could have won but was actually a liberal (I thought he had the best chance because he's a grown-up but his politics stink).
Another ancient Viet Nam war hero (decent guy but the base hated him for McCain Feingold which, ultimately destroyed his campaign)
and... some other crazy people who were totally unelectable.
So WHERE was our young, handsome, attractive, modern, appealing, popular, motivating, smooth talking candidate? Nowhere to be found.
It is said that the Republicans eat their young. Its true. Look at all of the hacks on TV. Old, white, rich and irrelevant.
So... we lost, Duh!
