Mitt Romney has officially claimed the nomination for the Republican Party. Having skimmed some of the Republican debates, I can't quite figure out why Romney won and Paul lost. No one likes Romney; he's a flip-flopper, he enacted universal health care in Massachusetts, and he's a Mormon (for those who care about that).
Paul, on the other hand, has dedicated followers (including most of my conservative friends), is truly for small government, is straightforward, and has more integrity in his pinky finger than Romney has in his whole body. Honestly, the only thing I can think of is that Romney looks more presidential.
Since this is the only place where I can find an actual group of conservatives, I figure this is the best place to ask this question. Even if you are Paul-ite, maybe you know some other conservatives who voted Romney and can explain their thinking to me.
Feel free to trash Obama and liberals as long as you stay on topic.
