That’s an amazing fact. In 2008, John McCain–viewed then (and now) as a lackluster candidate–ran a mediocre campaign in an environment where his party was being held responsible for two unpopular wars and there was an ongoing financial crisis hanging over his head. He was outspent by a large margin. Fast-foward to 2012 and Romney has none of that baggage–if anything, it’s the opposite. The environment is completely oriented against the incumbent president. The money is just about even. And all Romney can do is flip IN and NC?]]>Wed, 07 Nov 2012 09:15:54 -0500<![CDATA[Allahpundit]]>https://hotair.com/headlines/2012/11/07/after-all-that-we-only-flipped-indiana-and-north-carolina-n97264
