I am awake and I smell the coffee.
Romney won because the GOPE systematically destroyed every other candidate and ensure Romney would be the last man standing.
Did you not noticed how one after another, only weeks apart, was taken down? They did exactly what the demonrats do.
This is a problem with the GOPE party. And until that root cause is fixed, they will continue to destroy TEA Party candidates and other true conservatives and ensure we have only RINOs to vote for. They are confident that we will hold our noses and vote for the lesser of two evils.
You are assuming we the 20 million primary voters are all stupid! How exactly did the GOPe destroy any candidates? Did they put out negative Ads? The only Ads I recall were put out by candidates. My personal choice was based entirely on what I heard from the mouths of the candidates. The Ads made no impact on me.
