Okay, Let's Drill Down To Some Specifics ...

... about the election, that is.

Why did Romney lose?

This is a good comprehensive list of causes.  This, on the other hand, calls attention to specific people, in a nicely humorous way.

What do I think?

All of the above, plus something my wife pointed out to me.

Romney reminds one a lot of Nixon.  A cleaned-up, higher functioning version of him, to be sure.  But the same beady eyes.  The same calculating nature.  And the same untrustworthy mouth.

Many Republicans wanted to ask of if we were better off than we were four years ago.  I can think of a different quote, invoking a different Republican President (namely Nixon), that's more appropriate for Romney:  "Would you buy a used car from this man?"

In Romney's case, no one should.  Including his supporters, who were stood up by him on Election Night.

Thank God (or Whomever you want to thank) that he didn't cross the finish line first.
