It could be argued that Romney talked about the real issues whereas much of the electorate didn't seem that interested, or informed. I heard his speech on a North American energy plan (an important subject still being ignored) and thought it was very good. He had it right abut Russia as well and would never have mentioned any 'flexibility' to Putin. His experience in dealing with major business leaders and politicians would have been a tremendous asset for the country.Yes. Actually Romney was not my first choice among the GOP hopefuls, but I had already determined that Barack Obama was wholly unqualified and incompetent as President in his first term. So once Romney won the GOP nomination, I took another good long hard look and was surprised and a bit relieved that I wasn't disappointed in the outcome. I was really looking forward to real hope and change in a Romney presidency. I believe had he won in 2012, we would now be repairing much of the Obama damage and we would be enjoying a much better economy that would continue to improve. But we'll never know.
The only chance we have to elect a highly competent person with the right aptitude, values, and skill set is to find somebody with those attributes who also has the charisma of a Perot or Reagan. That's the only way to get around the talking heads and their surrogate mainstream media who join forces to destroy anybody other than the leftwing anointed statist candidate and his loyal subjects who will repeat the assigned talking points and sound bites, however dishonest and absurd, on message boards again and again and again.
