They should have picked Santorum.
No, Romney was the best they had to offer. His biggest problem is that he sold out to the far right to win the nomination, something he really didn't need to do considering the lack of a strong conservative candidate. Now he is stuck with the agenda he campaigned on in the primaries, and it's just not selling. One of his biggest problems is trying to sell voters on the idea that cutting taxes is the way to balance the budget. I mean, come on, we're not all that stupid.
It happens every four years. In order to gain the Tea Baggers and the Far Right, the GOP hopefuls move to the far right. They have to do that to get the nomination. Then after nominated, their far right stance kills them with the independent voters...
McCain even hugged W to gain the nomination. That hug lost him thousands of votes.
What fantasy world are you living in? McCain never went to the right.
