Romney would have won if Perry was on his ticket. Of course Romney only surrounds himself with protege’ of him. It seems to work in the private sector but in the public sector......
“Romney would have won if Perry was on his ticket....”
Wow. I hadn’t thought of that, but I think you’re absolutely right. In past elections (waaay past) this geographical difference was considered by the parties (i.e. Goldwater - Arizona/Miller - Northeast; JFK - Mass./LBJ - Texas). Romney’s little “me-too” guy from another liberal state gave him no outreach at all. He was supposed to be so smart? Maybe not politically, except for destroying his opposition in the party and burning bridges that could have helped him win.
No, I didn’t like him much, but I knew the difference between him and what we got - that’s why I said I would have voted for a shetland pony to get Zero out - anyone, anything. And we who said so were right.
