When it became apparent in '08 that the GOP would force McCain on us, I had a sense of impending doom and started to warn my friends that Obama could win though some of them didn't believe such a disaster was possible.
At the time, the worst anyone expected was the prospect of a Hillary presidency.
I knew McCain would lose. Whenever I feel I have to hold my nose to vote for a Republican they always lose because it's the sentiment shared by many many other voters. It happened with Dole, it happened with McCain and it's happening with Romney.
I do think Romney has a chance to get lucky because Obama's such a disaster for America. A shame we didn't get a conservative as our nominee this time around and that we wasted it on another RINO.
