The problem is, the Republican Party turns "half way decent" candidates into wingnuts.
Romney was a great candidate until he had to deal with Santorum.
You guys always bring this up, but why didn't Romney stand on principle? If he were such a great candidate, than how come all it took were a couple of states to go Santorums favor in order for him to change some key policy positions? Are you REALLY going to blame Santorum for that? I hate Santorum, but come on, deal in the real world. He's a bad candidate because nobody wanted him to BE nominee because of this clear weakness.
