(11,498 posts)They have to "look" like they are backing Romney, but I think their main goal is to keep the house, and try and take control of the senate. I also think they will put a lot of effort into trying to get republicans in control of state governments. They don't really have any kind of a plan if they did take the WH, nothing has been put out by republicans to "fix" the countries problems, and all Mitt can do is say "elect me now and then see what I do", which is pretty much insane!
As you said, if they really wanted to win the WH, they wouldn't have had the "clown parade" they had during the primaries with the winning "clown" being a lying, egotistic, rich blow hard like Romney. All of their "A" team, those like Jeb Bush, Christie, Thune, and others who were being talked about as running all stepped aside. One needs to ask why they did that. Those republicans all will be sitting back and waiting for 2016 when they hope things will be better. If Mitt, by some miracle, did win, the "A" team would not be able to run in 2016. Also look at all the "A" team republicans that say they "WON'T" be the VP. Romney's numbers will get lower and lower the more people hear him speak, and I am pretty sure the Obama team has a lot more on him than they have talked about already, they are just waiting till he gets the nomination at the republican convention.
I think Rove is counting on all the money going into the presidential race and not enough will be put out for those running for congress, and at state levels. I hope americans have gotten wiser since 2010, and can see just how bad it was for states like Wisconsin, Main, Florida, and others once republicans got control.
