|For many Republicans, Romney’s greatest virtue is that he is not President Obama. But that may also be his greatest weakness. Being A.B.O. (anyone but Obama) doesn’t necessarily make you able. The protest vote will carry a candidate only so far. It ensures the support of the base, but not the middle. And in a general election, the middle must be won. Candidates must connect with the people there and passionately sell a vision of America that resonates with them.
I can't imagine anyone but Obama winning this election. I'm not sure how excited I am for that - but I am definitely excited to see pretty much all support taken away from Santorum.
