Why Romney’s losing the race for president
WASHINGTON, November 2, 2012 — Like it or not, Republicans are having to face up to a very sobering truth: Mitt Romney will lose the election.
He gave it the old college try. He has been whatever voters wanted him to be. He would say whatever they wanted to hear. He truly was the Etch-A-Sketch man.
His first decisive win during the debates rejuvenated his faltering campaign and gave him a tail wind for weeks afterwards. The momentum was his. But then the wind began to subside and it wasn’t just Hurricane Sandy blowing into town.
