Disappointing, frustrating and maddening as it is, that is the truth. The field was weak and the notRomney supports didn't unite. On the contrary, many spent the primary trashing each other.
The first constructive step to change this is being honest about how we got here.
Exactly. Rick Perry is a perfect example. He started out at the top of the pack. Then he was ripped apart piece by piece. Ooooh - he said I was heartless. Whaa. He was out there talking about obama's war on religion. He was honest in views about gays. He's a three terms governor and a strong gun rights advocate from a BIG energy state. I liked him from day one and would gladly jump back on board if he unsuspended his campaign. He'd be a good VP pick.
