Democrats would cheat!
Plus we have such a dumbed down electorate that a moderate squish like Mitt Romney can suddenly be transformed into a right-wing extremist and the sheeple buy it.
As in, “conservatives have a snowball’s chance in hell” of ever being elected in NY, CA MA, etc etc:)
Elections are decided long before we vote.
Of course they are, except when he is working in the garden:
To do that they would have to move to the right.
Random???
In Romney’s case it should be obvious what went wrong.
Unfortunately elections aren’t decided by chance (if that were the case the odds would at least once in a while favor the conservatives). Rather, elections are decided by a corrupt elite and an ignorant mass.
The ‘Rats leave nothing to chance when it comes to elections.
They go balls to the wall to rig every one they can.
Sadly, elections are decided by morons.

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
“Over the past nine months, the Republican Party has been consumed by a debate over how it should respond to Mitt Romney’s loss in 2012. ‘
If the party is having this debate then the party has no core beliefs or values. People and institutions with core beliefs and values do not require the level of agonizing public introspection the Republican Party is going through. Your core values sustain you in good times and bad.
Without core beliefs the party cannot define itself. They are trying to be everything to everybody and end up being nothing because they stand for nothing. That is why the party is losing. It represents nothing worth fighting for or going to the polls to support.
I find the story of Romney’s decision to run for President very illustrative of the dilemma the party is in. He claims the family got together and voted on whether or not he should run. He was one of the no votes. How can a man who doesn’t believe he should run excite voters enough to make them want to vote for him? If he doesn’t believe in himself, why should a voter believe in him?
Perhaps the truth is Romney was asked to run knowing the powers government the elites had decided he would lose. Perhaps McCain ran under the same circumstances.
Standing back too far, sucking his thumb while contemplating his navel. How can voter participation slide as far toward 50% as it did in 2012 in the face of the “high tech wizardry of team Obama” in the environment of high turnout in increasing early voting and mail in voting? And nobody asks the questions?
