Please name for me the non-GOP-E candidate who you think could have beat Obama. And please don’t say Santorum. As a two term incumbent he lost his Senate race by 18 points. Thats an ass-whuppin of epic proportions. To think he could have won a national race is laughable.
Nice dodge of the bigger picture - many GOP-E House and Senate candidates lost as well. I think Perry would have been able to beat Obama had he not developed foot-in-mouth disease. I also think a lot of other good candidates didn’t run because of Romney and his support base.
