ROMNEY QUITS!
Why did Mitt Romney's well funded, well organized campaign fail? He is an attractive candidate, a principled candidate and a very qualified businessperson, however early in his campaign, he held town-hall type meetings that were billed ASK MITT ANYTHING. I attended one of those at the OU Health Science Center. When it became apparent that Romney was not going to address the two issues that were on people's minds- his flip flop on abortion and his Mormon faith, the crowd begin to thin out. He later addressed both of those issues, but for many it was too late and they had moved to the second tier candidacy of Mike Huckabee. I regret that Mitt Romney did not have the confidence in himself and the faith in conservatives to discuss the obvious early in the campaign. If he would have, he would be the party's nominee.
