Of course I would like to have seen Newt,Palen or even Santorum as a candidate- just like everyone else.
Mitt was not my first choice, but he was what we had.
Mitt is a decent man (if not hard line Conservative) and ran a good campaign.
Nobody could have beaten the criminal Obama machine, and the major Conservative websites have each issued an article agreeing with me that, indeed, massive voter fraud was behind the defeat of Romney.
Ohio is a bit different ~ Cleveland and the Mahoning Valley are or all intents and purposes Communist party enclaves inside the USA. They really don't have to cheat to turn out Democrat votes. In much of the rest of the state it is theoretically possible to turn out enough Republicans every single race to win all but a handful of legislative and Congressional seats BUT the party needs to invest in voter registration drives.
With the Presidential money and personnel taking the lead regarding how the total campaign was to be run in Ohio, I think the voter registration drives weren't conducted ~ again, remember, Romney was campaigning for the votes of the non existent 10% of undecided moderates!
You might have also noticed that we didn't win the 23 open Senate seats ~ that's how big Romney's coat-tails were ~ total blow out. You gotta' have a much more charismatic and interesting candidate with some attractive ideas if you want to avoid that sort of disaster again!
