I heard the best description of Romney today - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

MikeWaters · 02-08-2008, 02:28 PM

on the radio, on the Diane Rhem show.

The guest called him "Frankenstein." As if he had been put together in a lab by Republican scientists, with all the body parts designed to appeal to conservatives.

Romney really put all his chips on the table and bet that the American people were STUPID, and would buy his makeover, and not think it was pandering.

It's kind of sad, that in an election where CHARACTER was one of the biggest issues in the campaign, Romney, a Mormon, lost big-time in that category. Voters who valued character first did not go to Romney first. Nor second.

Interesting ... he didn't lose because of issues of character issues despite your protestations to the contrary. He lost becasue he tried to appeal to the far right evangelical voters who would have nothing to do with a Mormon.

Of course you don't have to believe me you can simply look at the numbers (factual evidence) ie who voted for him and what states he won vs lost

What are you smoking? He withdrew becasue he lost in NH, NY, NJ, CA, CT. These are states with tiny relative populations of Evangelicals. The Evangelicals weren't a factor in any of those states. Everywhere Evangelicals were a factor except MO McCain lost as well. A lot of poeple voted against him for similar reasons they voted against Huckabee.
