For what it's worth, Richard Nixon barely lost to JFK in 1960, and lost by a larger margin to Pat Brown in 1962 in his bid for Governor of California. He was written off by everybody then-even himself. Furthermore, Ronald Reagan lost two bids for the Republican nomination (including a close one in 1976) and was dismissed by many observers at the time as a right-wing crank (from Hollywood B-movie fame, no less!).
Both of these men eventually became President, and were reelected in landslides.
Don't count Romney out just yet.
