Romney wasn't a leader of the GOP. His ascension to the top of the ticket was mainly due to the band of bozos plus Huntsman that ran. The GOP so called A-Team TOLERATED him, but did so begrungenly. No matter how the media wants to cast this, there was a vacuum before the Myth. It got worst with his loss.
