You've probably heard the story about the tycoon who wanted to bring out a new kind of dog food.
He spent lavishly. He hired the best marketing person, the top PR firm, the best ad agency, the No. 1 packaging expert, the most powerful distributor -- but the sales were flat after six months.
He summoned his consultants to a meeting and asked why the food wasn't selling. "The dogs won't eat it," was the answer that came back.
And so it is with Mitt Romney. Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries, the dogs won't eat it. He lost Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and California. The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states; and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals couldn't spare the cash to advertise. Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries. Using his gigantic money advantage to dominate television, he seized early leads in virtually all of the primary states, only to lose them later on. And, when they started slipping away, he resorted to unfair, distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges.

If you think I’m a McCain apologist, you have another thing coming. This is about saving the GOP’s sorry ass for this election putting our best Conservative forward as VP, which is why I’m touting Mark Sanford.
All you need to know about Slick Willard was in that link. The only person he’s perfect for is Obama.

Get educated about Slick Willard. No Conservative in good conscience can support this liberal fraud.
At this point there’s no certainty Obama will even be the nominee.
You’re an agent for his campaign and not being paid ? So you’re independently wealthy that you can spend 16 hours a day, 7 days a week spamming thousands of posts and repeating the same propagandic talking points ?
Wow... what an insult to Reagan. After all, Slick Willard has no use for President Reagan and proudly proclaimed himself an anti-Reagan liberal.
I’m not an agent for his campaign.
I’m an Independent thinker.
And please.. I’m on FR at night and thats about it.
Refuted.
You may be intending to advance something conservative, in fact you are simply complaining.
You’re not pro-Sanford. You’re anti-Mitt.
Big difference.
Perhaps rather than whining about Mitt, you should be posting reasons to think nice things about Sanford.
Your current complaining, really only helps Mitt.
Thanks so much. Mitt rocks.
BTTT!
More pure unadulterated *omney.
I’ll bet if I suggested Dr. Coburn as a running mate, you’d dig up a CNN link (in under 5 seconds) designed to make him look like a buffoon.
No I like Dr. Coburn.
He’s probably too Conservative to get elected unforunately.
I worked hard for him.. and put up hundreds of signs.
Dr. Coburn is probably one of the most Conservative people in America.
I am pro-Sanford and I am anti-liberal. You’re touting a liberal, Slick Willard.
Read up on the REAL Slick Willard record of shame:

No, no. You’ve got to post more liberal propaganda media links to discredit Dr. Coburn like you have with Gov. Mark Sanford ! You’re going off your Slick Willard script !
Sure.
And if we start drilling no, we won’t have any oil for FIFTY YEARS!!
Right?
(/sarcasm)
I know Dr. Coburn and he doesn’t have any interest at this point in being a VP.
Are you off your meds ? You’re posting in the wrong thread.
Dr. Coburn already endorsed McCain by the way.
Romney is a leader, an excellent communicator, and knows how to act as an executive. That is how I am comparing him to Reagan. He is a far better candidate than McCain and would garner more support from the GOP base. And unlike McCain, he is also on the right side of the issues such as immigration/amnesty, energy policy, Gitmo, etc.
heh
No. Where’s the liberal propaganda discrediting Dr. Coburn ? Stammering or mumbling, making him look like a Nazi, etc. C’mon, where is it ? You always are seconds away from discrediting good Conservative statesmen with lib media links.
Yeah... ?
