Certainly there were other factors (such as IRS voter suppression) but when an unappealing candidate loses an election, it's probably best to acknowledge that he or she could not attract sufficient support, and it is probably best to ask, "What would make our next candidate more attractive?"

For the record: I voted for Romney. He was the last RINO I will ever vote for. From now on, give me a Conservative or I stay home. The party has an obligation to me -- I do not have an obligation to the party.

+10,000 I am tired of voting for people that might as well be Democrats.

With respect ... yeah. Right. Sure you will. Just like Jim Robinson did, God bless and protect him and his nonetheless.

For the record, for the first time in 36 years of voting, in 2012 I declined a Republican on the ballot (that would be Romney) and voted third party. So did my mom, a lifelong active Republican who had been voting straight R ticket for sixty years. She did so, and I did so, because voting for Romney was voting to empower amorality and evil. Some of us -- thank God, enough of us, saw through the sophistry of voting "against" Obama, a purely pretend fantasy.

I think America had a very close call, I think it's a good sign for America that Romney lost, and I'm grateful for it. Americans CAN and WILL vanquish Obama and be better for it. Romney would have done far more damage in the long run. I'm grateful that he lost.
