Well, to be fair Romney distanced himself from Europe and their fiscal responsibility during this crisis (austerity measures)... although at least he didn't campaign on doing the opposite (Obama). In fact at the end he promised "millions of new jobs", which was very Obama-esque to be honest. Ron Paul was the ONLY one who really saw the situation for what it was and stated outright that things would get worse for a while but we needed to do what we needed to do. Romney was all about "doing what we needed to do" but that would make everything better immediately. Further, you have to remember that a LOT of libertarian types are fed up with the wars and all and Romney did nothing but swagger around blasting Obama' foreign policy, which by all accounts is much more "Paul-ish" than Bush or Romney. Probably most important was a large majority of the country was sick of Romney's lack of will to push back against the far right social agenda... this is where the "RwingNutBubble" effect comes into play... all sorts of R wingers think EVERYONE LIKES their agenda... but... THEY DONT. LOL DAK
