I missed the part about an immediate withdrawal fom Iraq, too. Did you hide it w/ the WMD? The tone of Mitt's campaign didn't bother me. He seemed upbeat, appeared organized and very hands-on and intellectually curious. Unlike GWB. Some of his actual plans did bug me. He adopted and seemed to buy into the warmonger approach. I'd have thought Mitt would have preferred to use a corporate proxy vote to fight terrorists instead of shock and awe. They (Mitt and McCain) want more wars. We already have two too many.

Deval Patrick's slogan was "Together We Can" and Romney's campaign was pretty terrible, for the record.

You missed the middle section about immediate Iraq withdrawal (no matter what) as part of the deal but hell, don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. Complaining about the tone of the campaign in a post like the one above is pretty typical around here. We really do get the government we deserve. (BTW, how that first year of "Yes we can" working out for you?)

The guy was a lying douche bad and continued being a douche bag even as he was going down in defeat. To suggest that a Democrat in the White House would be tantamount to surrendering to the terrorists is just plain wrong and offensive. I am reminded of his constant Massachusetts-bashing during the run-up to his campaign and I would like to use a jingoism often used by the people he panders to: love it or leave it. Since Mitt clearly doesn't love it, he should get the hell out of Massachusetts.
