Those who still think Obama will win please take note. With so many losing Democrats as his running mates does anyone think people will go into the booth to vote for a GOPer for Senate but then vote FOR Obama.
Our nominee not being who we wanted doesn't mean he won't crush Obama. We could have picked a name from the phone book and beaten Obama and sadly we did.
That's not what hurts the worse. Typically your state and local party committees try to get their volunteers to carry the water for all the party candidates, and you just won't get a lot of Republicans to work for the Senate and House candidates if they also have to pass around propaganda for Romney.
There's really no room for compromise in this. The old saying is that if you lie down with dogs (the Mittbots) you get up with fleas (instead of voters).
