The fact is Romney ran a hope and change campaign just like Obama. Where were his plans? He talked about jobs but never explained what he would do to help.
He talked about raising tariffs on China but only if China didn't play by the rules. China can play by the rules, they are already stacked in China's favor.
Romney was already irradiated before he began to run. He had a liberal and a non-Christian past. You don't get much more irradiated than that.
Danny - I may be wrong but I thought he said that the Romney campaign said to NOT respond (when you’re responding you”re losing). Rove said they agreed (and didn’t respond) and that that was a mistake
I think the main reason Romney lost was image. Romney looks like a stodgy old used car salesman. Then the 47% comment wiped him out. I would say that one comment did him in more than anything else.
