But no, we had to vet through the whack pack of Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, and finally Romney. Hell, Palin got a closer look at it and she wasnt even in the primaries.
Thank the tea party for the primary hi-jack. God forbid they let a moderate who could actually win get nominated.
I like Hutsman, and I would have definitely considered voting for him, but as much as it sucks, you gotta look at the party as a whole. Not once did Romney stand up to the loud voices in his party (talk radio or the like). If someone like Hutsman would have been the cadidate, would he have stood up to them, or just went a long with them to get support?

I think it was disgust with the national GOP more than anything else that led to Scott Brown's loss here in Massachusetts. At least it was the deciding factor for me. His message was "support the man, not the party" but that was asking a lot considering what the party has become.
