It's politics Mark.
The guy went "far right" in order to win the Republican nomination.
Then he's screwed in the general.
That's the same fate that happened to McCain. Both guys were "moderates" all their careers.
Then they get up and straight-faced lied and pretended to be far-right to win the primary.
And then, of course...it ruins the whole reason that people liked them in the beginning.
The Democrats have finally figured that out. And it's been very successful for them the last 2 Pres. campaigns.
I don't see how the Republicans are going to be able to field any candidate that won't have the same thing happen to them too. So if Pres. Obama can just get through to the end of his term without completely fucking up...it should be easy for Hillary to beat the Republican no matter who they find.
As long as the primary forces them to go full-retard on themselves, they are doomed.
As far as Romney goes...he would have definitely been a better Pres. from an economic standpoint in my opinion. His ideas to stimulate the economy were pretty damn good.
But he obviously didn't have the charm of Pres. Obama. And the Pres. is probably one of the best campaigners in modern times.
