re: #24 Lidane

If you read the Ace of Spades (yeah, I know) blog post that David Corn links to, they were pretty much ignoring their GOTV volunteers and/or were so disorganized that a lot of those volunteers never got to do any groundwork on Election Day at all.

For a man who supposedly knows all about business, the simplest things seemed to escape people over at Romney HQ.

From the description, the Romney approach to campaigning was much like the Bain approach to steel-making at GST: Make a lot of lofty promises and goals, fill all the important positions by yes-men without the first clue how to do anything, put far too much on the plate than can be handled, and then the whole thing augurs into the ground, fire everybody and make a break for the doors.
