The GOP establishment thinks they can change a sow’s ear into a silk purse. Not gonna happen. Mitt 2008 is Mitt 2012. We didn’t want him then and we don’t want him now.
Exactly. The GOP-e thinks it’s as simple as retooling the message? It’s not the message. It’s the candidate.
I actually voted for Romney in the 2008 primary because I thought that he would be better than McCain or Huckabee. Hard to believe, much less admit.
If you think about it, Romney’s two wins have been in states with same day registration allowed and no Democrat primary to compete. I think that Rpmney’s broad support may have been a carefully constructed and very expensive illusion.
