Why do I keep hearing this lame attack against Romney that since he couldn't beat McCain for the nomination in 2008, why would we want to pick him as our nominee--he's got no chance against Pres. Obama.
Okay people, let's think this through carefully. This is NOT a salient argument and here's why. Ronald Reagan ran for the nomination in 1976 and LOST--to Gerald Ford...who then went on to lose to Jimmy Carter in the general election. By some people's way of thinking, the voters were fools to choose Reagan in 1980 as their nominee, since he couldn't even beat Ford---who couldn't beat Jimmy Carter. But what happened? They didn't listen to this silly argument and Reagan went on to beat Carter in 1980 by a landslide.
