How did they think he would have ever won when he appealed to only the extreme?

He tried to be a chameleon. Still, plenty of Americans, for unspoken reasons, love him.

If you think romney was the reason republicans lost, you people have your blinders on. When you keep going to the same well with angry white voters, it will eventually catch up with you.

Romney was clearly the best GOP candidate. That's not saying much, but he was certainly better than the likes of Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, Perry, Cain, etc.

Agreed. The GOP still has not realized that the country has changed in many ways - including demographics, views on equality, etc. Forever clinging to the past that they are trying to CONSERVE is what broke their necks.

The popular vote diffference last I saw was 25,000 out of 99 million. Pretty close to a dead heat.
