The primary reason the Republicans gave for nominating Romney was that he was "electable". Who do you think is electable, ExGYer? Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyWhat the fuck is "ExGYer"?

The GOP competitors probably would have brought that up, but the Dems definitely would have.
Jon Huntsman would have been more electable than Romney. But he committed the cardinal sin of working with Democrats and serving as ambassador to Chine under Barack Obama. So people like you decided that Ron Paul was more electable.
