Obama could have been beat by a candidate that pulled the stops and went after him, McCain didnt want to offend anyone and actually was harder on other republicans than he was on obama. Romney had a lead in the polls after the first debate when he took it to obama, then he turned around and played nice guy in the next 2 debates, played defense and played not to loose instead of playing to win and lost the election. You, Mr Realist , have done the same, you have realisticly conceded the election before a nominee is even selected. And the voters that stayed home last time had the same attitude as you. That's why the bastard in the whitehouse was elected to a second term. We need people that love this country and are willing to fight and lay it on the line for our future. People with defeatist attitudes, like yours, that claim to be realist are losers and bring nothing to the table. Instead of conceding in a public forum, why not try to pump up like minded voters to get out and fight. Not put out your crap and conceded defeat before the runners get in the blocks. If you are going to get involved and are truly a person that loves this country as you portray yourself to be, and not a liberal trying to discourage participation , change your attitude, pull up your pants and get in the fight! If not just ****!

I must say I do admire your passion. Who do you think, Jeb Bush aside, would be the best republican candidate to get elected as president? Honest question.
