I really don't get why the Romney bots are so insistent upon every one else conceding to "inevitability" if they truly think Mitt is a good candidate. A lengthy primary campaign most certainly did not hurt Obama in 2008. If anything, it helped him by enabling him to build up a tested campaign structure in many states for the fall instead of a few early ones. It also would give Romney's campaign a chance to try out different messages of why people should vote for Romney to see what is effective. He'll need more than mud being slung by his Super PAC come the general election.
I agree. Especially in a year when there is an anti-incumbent vote that can be more easily focused; and a group of people who need to be identified and catered to (Paul supporters and ardent anti-Mitters), I really don't buy the "long-term primary campaign hurts Mitt Romney" line.
Then again, I completely buy the idea that Mitt Romney has hurt Mitt Romney
during the primaries by being Mitt Romney.
