Tagg Romney was simply saying that his father ran out of a sense of duty rather than personal ambition. Not only was Mitt Romney the only person who had a chance of defeating Obama, he is the only person with the skills to fix a broken government.

Romney did his part winning Independents by 5%. Unfortunately the country is now D+6. The conservatives who stayed home are too unreliable to matter. Romney maximized the turnout of responsible common sense voters.

This.

We need to come to grips with this. This country is not center-right on national issues anymore. It just isn’t. That is what is profoundly depressing about the election results.

If Mitt Romney had gotten 16 percent more popular votes than his predecessor, as John Kerry did, he would have led Obama by 4 million votes…

Barone is an idiot, showering us with his unknowledge.

FOAD, Obama voter.

Since this right here pretty much sums up Romney supporters GOTV effort, is it any wonder why anyone wasn’t inspired by him or his campaign?

The evidence of his campaign efforts indicates he only wanted to win the primary.

Carbon copies are different than the original, but the differences are minor. The only real difference is Obama hates America and proposes flawed laws to harm it. Romney supposedly loves America and somehow ends up with the same solutions as Obama.

I killed them because I detested them = Obama
I killed them because I was trying to save their souls = Romney

Romney would not pledge flexibility to Putin, but he also would likely not put a huge effort into restraining Putin.
I doubt Romney would have had people in Benghazi so the point is moot.

As for people you have to deal with that Obama likes, Romney had many of the same advisers as Governor.

Also you guys seem to forget that we had this thing called I primary where Romney won most of the Delegates. Dont want I Romney then dont split the conservate voting block.

That point always seems to be lost – that 95% of us were ABRs that only came around AFTER the primary was over and realized this was it.

But it’s easier being on a continual whine about it now. Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Wouldn’t have mattered???

Were you living in a bubble for the last two years?

Snap out of it.

Try at least six years. These are the same people that excoriated Palin the first time and actually having the dimwit public believing that Romney was going to take away tampons.

But somehow it will be different this time.

Tagg Romney: There was nobody that wanted to be president less than Romney
Voters: There was nobody that we wanted less than Romney.

Why should anyone have voted for Willard? He would have simply sank this nation a bit slower than Obama – but still sunk it and given YOU the blame for it.
