Romney doesn't want to lose. He believes that he can win in a base election

and that's why he thinks he can win this- not to mention he's counting on dem voter purges across the country. '

It's dangerous to think that he wants to throw the election and it's lazy analysis. His pick of Ryan demonstrates that he's doubling down and trying to solidify the repub vote.

The GOP's best hope lies in energizing its base of angry crazies while suppressing the votes of the sane. If they can do just enough of each, in the right places, they CAN win the WH.

Would that it were not so.

While Romney and the GOP are struggling to win over the mindless drones who are already with them, the rest of the world can move on.
