[Mr. Jeeves]

Those who are tempted to think that since conservatives have nowhere else to go, Republicans will win by default, ought to reconsider.

Romney was going to win because conservatives had nowhere else to go - but they found a place to go: instead of going to the polls they went to their living rooms and had coffee.

Romney would have been so much worse than Obama.

Same old sorry excuse.
“Somebody else did it”
Truth: Romney did not sell himself well enough as a conservative in order to persuade the conservatives. They recognized a RINO when they saw him. (True conservative Republicans would be hard to find in MA, therefore Romney was always suspect).
