I am not mad at the gop nor the candidates, I am very disheartened, surprised, by the number of morons who are on the other side. I really feel Romney/Ryan tried as hard as anyone could. Grab everything you can; shove, curse, steal, be a dumb ass, accept no responsibilities, blame someone else, and you will win in this country.
I agree, Romney made some mistakes like Not being agressive enough after the first debate, but he did far better than McCain, far better than Dole, far better than GHWB in hia re-election. Also he had to battle an extremely hostile media. Not going to dump on him, but at the same time I agree with Pat Cadell that this election was winnable. I also agree that at some point, e Reps have to go after other groups than white men and married women. Just foing to be increasingly difficult to win national elections with this strategy going forward.
Remember W won by being semi succesfulwith the hispanic vote.

I agree, I had wanted Newt but after watching Romney in the debates and how much he had to tip-toe around to gain any ground. Newt could have never won over enough independents or squishy sorts. Same with Santorum.
Romney had a fantastic work ethic and that did impress me about the man. They worked hard and a more conservative candidate wouldn’t have gotten as far as Romney/Ryan did.
I have decided America isn’t center right— it is center left. Republicans are really democrats and democrats are socialist/communist. Conservatives are a minority.
It would help if we could have honest elections but we are too chicken to try and force that to happen. Most of our elected officials could give a crud about this country and the people that they represent—they care about power and money.
We try to play by the rules and they only chit in our face.
