...just because he's "cool."

Most non-dogmatists vote for the candidate whose personality they like.

While Mitt was/is great on paper, in person he's a dud.

Reagan was a great example of someone whom people generally liked. He beat an incumbent Democrat - one with little personal appeal, whereas Romney faced a personally-appealing incumbent and had little charm to match his opponent

So did you actually think Mitt might win?

I didn't. After the first debate, I gave Romney a 25% chance of winning, and that's as high as he ever got.

I figured his odds were higher than that for a while but the whole party seems bent on self destruction so he was never really a good bet. It's too bad cuz I lean to the right on some things and practically jump and down on the right on other things so I could sometimes find some candidates that I liked that weren't Democrats. I despise voting a straight ticket so it sucks when I can't find anyone decent on one side.

Would you have voted for JFK? Fucked him? Both?
