Get the message conservatives:
If the fractions of the GOP remain divided, the next president will be a Democrat.
as much as I agree with that statement, the choice of McCain in 2008 and Romney in 2012 were the reason for the loss of the Presidency.
If Romney have been chosen in 2008 - he might have been the president, but the boring and unappealing McCain pushed a lot of people to vote for obama - just to taste something new.
The reason why Romney didn't get the nomination in 2008 is that the Christian Crazies didn't like his brand of Mormon Crazy.
I think that you trivialize why people voted for Obama. Didn't vote for him in 2008, did in 2012
They voted for Obama because
1) He was the first guy to come out and say the Iraq War was a HORRIBLE idea.
2) Bush screwed up the economy.
Both of which are completely valid reasons.
