At Republican governors’ gathering, plenty of blame for Romney

LAS VEGAS — A week’s worth of soul-searching among Republicans has yielded no shortage of explanations for the party’s failure to win the White House. They point to the Obama campaign’s early and aggressive effort to disparage Mitt Romney. They admit Democrats had a superior voter-turnout operation. Some point to Superstorm Sandy, saying it robbed Romney of momentum.

What they won’t say is that President Obama won a mandate for his vision, or that the GOP has veered too far right in its outlook.

Yeah. I don’t think they’re interested in moving to the center.
