re: #333 goddamnedfrank

Last weekend you were saying that Romney’s refusal to talk to the press, give interviews and take risks was the smart play. What makes you think that in flip flopping immediately after the primaries that Romney wouldn’t have cemented a reputation as laughingstock and completely alienated the social cons?

We’re in agreement on his abysmal ground game but that’s just a symptom. The disease was hubris.

His refusal was the smart play by that time. Moreover, I made that statement while replying on polling numbers that were quite wrong in retrospect. Had I understood the actual situation, my advice would have been different.
