"Mitt Romney is a disaster. He's the first Republican nominee in modern history to have higher negatives than positives (not even Bob Dole had that distinction)."
That's a true statement. Look it up.
While Dole was a lousy candidate, he had a couple advantages over Romney: He was a genuinely nice guy and he was a badass mofo in WW2.
Romney, neither of those.
And yet he had the lowest favorable ratings, of any modern candidate, until Mitt came along. I liked Dole. I believe that he genuinely cared about his country, and was willing to compromise to achieve something rather than nothing. I didn't vote for him, as Clinton was clearly leading us down the right path. But he is a good man. He'd be pilloried by the Nutsack Sucker Party today. I also got a chuckle out of him always speaking about himself in the third person.
