Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest of these: It Might Have Been." --John Greenleaf Whittier
The pundit world will now eviscerate Mitt Romney, a man who, had he garnered just a few hundred thousand more votes in a few key districts, would have been hailed as political genius. Instead, his every fault will be examined, his mistakes magnified and his defeat decreed to be, in retrospect, inevitable.
Romney was not my first choice. I had been hoping for Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels. But in the course of the long campaign, I had come to admire Romney immensely....












By the way, Akin was NOT the Republican choice. Thousands of Democrats crossed over in the primary and poisoned the well.
Like I said before, there's no excuse for Republicans not being able to at least split the Hispanic vote with the Democrats and we could wind up with a majority and still be conservative like Marco Rubio.

Look at what happened north of our border. Canada's economy was once anemic with a weak currency. The voted in a conservative (Stephen Harper) and now it's business as usual. He did by controlling spending, lowering taxes, and modifying regulations so businesses would have less burden. Perhaps we should model ourselves with theirs. Our debt is now 61% of GDP. Canadas is aout 36% and we have the highest corporate tax rate of all industrialized countries.....over 39% and your guy wants to raise it higher. Now would you like to re-think who the wackos really are?
