Mitt Romney wasn't a bad candidate. He ran a fairly strong race. He made a few errors. And he made many good moves. Certainly he was adequate. And he was probably the strongest Republican candidate among the primary field of contenders. That is, he was the best man available to run against Barack Obama. And he did a pretty good job.
Obama on the other hand, was a horrible candidate. He was mean and vindictive. He was contemptuous and superficial. He ran on irrelevancies like abortion and a fictitious Republican war against women. He didn't give his supporters any reason to feel good about themselves. Instead, he used class warfare to stir them to hatred of their countrymen.
Yet Obama won. And Romney lost.

What are the chances for a well-educated Christian to find work and move to Israel?
But he had an organization whose breadth and depth ran way beyond anything the Republicans imagined. Fueled by money from God knows where, and supported by Marxist, Communist, Socialist, labor organizations, presstitutes, underground organizations , foreign backers and downright electorate ignorance he has marched to an easy victory. IMHO that is how its going to be until ordnance comes into play. The next item on their agenda is the total irrelevance of the Constitution. This will happen when he appoints the next one or two supremos.
This is an excellent article.
I do not agree with the analysis of why Romney lost because it does not discuss the bottom line, which is that Romney got fewer votes than McCain.
That is the real reason we lost.
But the discussion of what the future holds for us in terms of economics and world events, this is right on and very sobering.
It is going to be a very difficult time and could include a very bloody war.
Obumbler probably will not declare war, rather the US will be drawn into war by Iran and possibly others who sense our decline.
Well, that's a matter of opinion, isn't it?
McCain, 2008 popular vote: 58,319,442
Romney, 2012 popular vote: 58,163,978
4 years of population growth and Romney didn’t draw what McCain did......
Partly because not once did the Karl Roves in the Republican insider circle run this in an ad.
It should have run once a week for the last year.
