Romney wasn't totally successful in doing that but who would have done better?

Newt Gingrich, who Mitt and his henchmen knocked out of the election, could’ve done a much better job. We needed someone like Newt who could’ve vividly explained conservatism and draw the electorate to it rather than run from it as Romney and his apologists did.

If Newt was the stronger candidate he would have won the nomination. Truth is I was pulling foe Newt but whatever he gained on the right he would have lost on the left and he would have been carrying an awful lot of bagage into the election. I’m not convinced he would have done better
