I just had one of those "Why did it take me so long to think of it?" moments. My 'great' insight this: it literally didn't matter which candidate won the presidency in 2012, Mitt Romney would have been as lame a president as Obama continued to be, and that was pathetic.
Hindsight is always 20-20. I suppose him being Governor of bright blue Massachusetts should have been a clue to his RINOness.
The saving grace of Obama's reelection is that the Republican Party doesn't have to shoulder the blame for a Romney presidency. Bush II is enough of an albatross.
