...Claiming to vote for Romney and providing reasons to do so while writing a book about his losing the election.
From Nov. 1--
In the District, I lack a meaningful congressional choice - and anyway nobody would describe our local Democratic party as moderate-to-conservative. The best that can be said of our local Democrats is that many of them are unindicted. I have only one national vote to cast, and that I'll cast for the candidate with the right vision for national security and the national economy: Mitt Romney for president.

Then comes out two days after Romney's defeat with his book "Why Romney Lost"

Something tells me he was writing this book knowing Romney will lose while publicly endorsing him for POTUS.
He hedged his bets. But, hey!...you gotta give him credit: that's how you get on top and stay on top!

You people didn't get him in his coming of age, Canadian years.

I read his e-book. Only $3.99 on Kindle. He's smart and rational. I think his book will have a big impact on young people not tied to the current Repub insanity. He rightly says most people need help in this economy and Rs have nothing for them. He supports Obama care, cap and trade, abortions after rape.
