THE GLOBE’S analysis of Mitt Romney’s failed presidential run buys into the Republicans’ story line that the loss was one of strategic and tactical missteps (“The candidate who never really left voters in,” Page A1, Dec. 23). While these campaign problems no doubt were a factor, the underlying problem was the candidate himself.
How so? First, Romney appeared opportunistic. While it is unlikely that Romney has no core values, his blatant pandering to the audience of the moment was painfully obvious.

and don't forget free birth control with no-copay. The media hurt Romney's chances, they seem to convince people they would lose their benefits, that's huge today considering the amount of people that rely on government to live. And then it's the personal responsibility thing, people don't want that. Well back to another 4 years of no jobs, we'll see where we are in four years, lots more people relying on the government, very high deficits and still no recovery, good luck people.
