He provides thoughtful and convincing analysis regarding the right wing nuts but toward the end of his discussion asserts that Romney could have been a good candidate. I would argue that there is nothing in the record or in Frum's dissertation to support Romney ever being a good candidate. This is unfortunately what Frum did for John McCain as well. At the end of the day he still adheres to the Republican credo and thus weakens his original thoughtful analysis. Also keep in mind that Romney is something of a serial liar that was ever unable to be truthful and sincere. These are major character defects that no amount of campaign spending and false advertising can be overcome once the electorate discovers the true inner man. Sadly, the Republican Party is destined to lie on the threshing room floor foe the next 20-25 years, thereby making it easier for the Democratic Party to impose its will on the electorate. Lets hope that they are more thoughtful than the sad lot of Republicans.
