It’s always been acceptable for the conservative base that abortion and healthcare be given to the states to manage and fund. This isn’t very extreme for even the fundamentalists to accept in the end.

The fact that the Left will not accept it is, is why politics turn extreme. And eventually, to something else entirely.

}}} I wouldn’t go *that* far.

I think for a politician he was a lot more honest — or came off that way — than anyone else since Reagan.

So he was either as good a poseur as Obama or he was as genuine as Reagan. His backing of “Romneycare” is the best argument for the “poseur” position. His history and background as a Mormon the best argument for the latter.

I concur somewhat with the “ground game” argument. The media being so utterly and indisputably in the tank for Teh One is the real issue. That crap at the “debates”, where the moderator fed Obama a lie to agree with was just completely bogus.

You don’t know how old I am.

I wouldn’t go *that* far.

Romney was fine. He was a good candidate, the best candidate for President from either party I can recall in my voting life.

It’s not Romney who was “lousy at politics” anymore than Obama was great at politics. It’s the entire GOP and Right that’s inferior at politics. Obama didn’t win because Obama is a great politician. Obama won because the Left never stops their Marxist activist ground game. They don’t just gear up for election cycles.

Look around right now. Where’s the Right’s Marxist activist ground game? Yeah, I don’t see one, either. That’s why Romney lost.
