As soon as Mitt Romney clinched the 2012 GOP nomination, I knew. We were in for four more years of Obama. By the time election night rolled around, the polls had tightened and I had some sliver of hope that he might pull things off – but, still, in my heart of hearts I knew. Romney was not the kind of fighter that could take on an incumbent President and win.
My misgivings had nothing to do with his money. I like money. Wealth is a good thing. My \problem with Romney was that, from his time in Massachusetts right up until his candidacy, he’d been on both sides of virtually every issue. Gun control, healthcare, taxation, abortion, gay rights – you name it – if it was an issue, Romney had probably been on both sides of it.
