I hate Obama too, but that doesn’t change the fact that Romney was a candidate who was weak, wouldn’t or couldn’t fight and the worst possible choice.

But the GOPe decided it was ‘Romney’s turn’ and the media pushed him in the primaries because they knew he wouldn’t win.

I just ran across a tweet that sums up this entire fiasco:

That Allen West lost and Jesse Jackson Jr. won really says a lot about the direction this country is headed.

We allowed the media, yet again, to define us by playing on the very worst caricatures of everything their followers hate and fear. Romney, unfortunately, made that job easier than it should ever have been.
