4 years out.... maybe rubio, ryan, cantor nah eric looks and sounds like a smug rich white bread DH.

Ryan is dead. Marco would be a long shot. Cantor? Really?

Romney lost for the simple reason that more people voted for the other guy. Next question.

I think Romney lost for a number of reasons but the biggest one is he is so far removed from the real world he just has not got a clue what is important to the average citizen. He does not even understand the concept of middle class since he considers $250k to be middle class and most people I know would consider that to be quite rich.

He is inconsistent and he changes his stance on issues depending upon his audience.

He has that Us vs Them mentality with regard to the wealthy and the rest of us.

He was caught in his lies many times.

Romney would never be able to represent anyone but the wealthiest individuals because those were really all he cared about.

In the end I think what got him is there are not enough rich people and wealthy business owners to make up the number of votes he needed to win.

I am not naive enough to believe Obama is perfect either but I would rather take my chances with him than some rich liar.

If the congress does not block every effort this time and actually do their job this time around maybe he can make those changes he promised. I do hope Obama will invoke executive powers to work around roadblocks like Behner this term.
