i agree- blaming Christie is a piss-poor excuse for a bad campaign....
blaming mourdock and akin after you handily took those states is just ignorant....
Your logic is flawed. Akin and Mourdock’s comments were big topics among the uterine set here in NC. I don’t much like the Romney campaign, and they made the typical inside the beltway strategist mistakes, but these three men were also devastating and these were unforced errors outside the Romney campaign.
It’s a poor excuse, yes. Bear in mind, these “campaign inner circle” creeps usually come out after the election to try and clean their records.
The Akin Mourdock criticism is valid however, because the media blew it out of proportion and it fed into the ‘war on women’ narrative, which we now know Obama was pushing hard under the radar, in radio ads targeting women.
While Christie’s idiocy wasn’t responsible for Romney’s loss (I think it was an inevitable demographic barricade we wouldn’t have ever been able to overcome), the unnecessary amount of fawning was annoying to watch. Christie fell on that day, in my eyes, and blew any shot he might have had at higher office.

Think so? Go to any other state in America. Talk to 20 random women under 35 in a starbucks. Ask who they voted for and why.
Their message was damaging and spread far beyond safe presidential GOP territory into the far more narrow swing states.
These two asshats ran their mouths because they were in safe GOP territory and thought they had it in the bag. They never gave a thought to closer states and how their nutty talk might harm the larger effort.
This just shows what we all knew and only some of us were willing to admit. Mitt Romney is no friend of conservatives, especially social conservatives.
