He may not be the nominee that many activists want, but he is the nominee that a lot of them deserve. This will be the third national election of the last four in which the GOP will suffer politically because of its embrace of the Bush-era consensus, and for some reason most Republicans seem unable to acknowledge that they continue to struggle partly because they have failed to confront the legacy of Bush’s failures and the party’s role in making them possible. Romney’s loss in the general election could force Republicans to start to learn from the errors of the last decade, but so far electoral drubbings have had little or no effect.   [….]Daniel Larson: "Romney As the Nominee: Still Inevitable and Definitely Dreadful"http://www.theamericanconservative.com/larison/20

It was an “eh” night for Romney, although he avoided catastrophe by pulling out a razor-thin win in Ohio where he was trailing most of the night.Otherwise, he won one state where he used to be governor (Massachusetts), a small Northeastern state (Vermont), an essentially uncontested Southern state (Virginia), and a heavily Mormon state out West (Idaho). In Virginia, he couldn’t get to 60 percent against just Ron Paul. Rarely has a candidate seemed so inevitable and so weak at the same time. […]Read: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/03/07/romney-

Yeah…me neither. Last night had to be pretty much of a disappointment no matter who you happen to support. Allahpundit was <span>covering it live</span>, of course, but once all of the “victory party” hangovers have begun to fade, the results were less than impressive.We can justifiably say that Mitt “won” by <span>racking up victor</span>ies in Ohio, Massachusetts, Idaho, Virginia, Vermont and Alaska, along with a fairly impressive haul of delegates. But the Buckeye State victory came by a margin that wouldn’t fill up a decent college football game audience.Rick Santorum pulled out some wins people didn’t expect in Tennessee, Oklahoma and North Dakota, which gives him more than ample reason to continue the long slog. (Newt took his home state which he apparently feels is reason enough to do the same.) Unfortunately, several analysts this morning have been running the numbers and, in order to reach the magic number, Santorum will need to take somewhere between 64 and 70 percent of the remaining delegates. How likely does that sound given the current climate?Still, Jim Geraghty sees <span>dark clouds on the horizon</span> for Mr. Romney.  […]Read: http://hotair.com/archives/2012/03/07/the-afterma

I was surprised to see Repubs openly saying they don't like Romney. One guy on the panel basically said they're screwed. Looks like Romney is a long way from that delegate number though.

And so they have felt emboldened to cast their primary votes for … anybody.There's a lot of questioning about why Romney can't "close the deal." But maybe we should equally wonder, why GOP voters refuse to understand how complex and difficult the deal is.   […]David Frum, (last night) 3-6-12
