5. They may have had better candidates but this is what they offered. This was the GOP's candidate.

The other candidates could not be nominated because the GOP has come under the control of extremists. Until balanced is restored to the GOP they will only be able to offer unacceptable candidates. I would desire that GOP regain its Eisenhower mentality so that they could actually offer responsible solutions and especially when they do gain the majority they do not repeat the same tragic mistakes that took place during the Bush administration. This is the point that I was attempting to make. Many members of the party are acknowledging the fact that Romney was unacceptable, however, how are they going to break the stranglehold that the Teabaggers have on their party?
