So you really think Gingrich, Bachmann, Santorum or Cain would have done better? Perry would have mirrored Romney numbers. McCain did better because A) Overall voter turnout was better and B) people liked him more - hes a war hero and C) Romney flipped flopped a lot. The bottom line is that we did not turn out - we lost

Your post is right on.

As much as I hate Bob Beckel, he made a damn good point last night that running against someone or something does not gen up votes like running for someone or something.
I remembered hearing this on many previous elections.

The Saudi and soros illegal $ fed nobama’s campaign enabling the non-stop negative sliming of Romney.

Romney ran promoting “small business is the answer” which apparently the voters did not relate to as much as Santa Hussein.

McCain did better because of Palin.
