Romney loss wouldn’t necessarily be a disaster

They're already spinning a possible Romney loss in November...and it's not going over well.

Don’t buy the doom and gloom pronouncements from conservatives telling you, “this is the most important election in history.” A loss for Mitt Romney would not necessarily spell long lasting disaster for Republicans, nor would it be the death-knell to conservatism. In fact, it’s possible a 2012 loss could lay the groundwork for a stronger Republican party and conservative movement.

Elections are almost always seen as urgent and morally imperative. But sometimes major victories can only come in the aftermath of what appear to be devastating defeats. John Kerry‘s loss in 2004 laid the groundwork for a Democratic takeover in 2006 and 2008, and Jimmy Carter‘s defeat of Gerald Ford in 1976 paved the way for the Ronald Reagan in 1980. In other words, it is a mistake to assume losing a presidential election is a permanent defeat.

I don't expect as much change if Romney wins as others. Foreign policy essentially the same. Mitt will be more ora moderate than the press would have you believe. And Washington is hard to make change course. The big change?. The Supreme Court.

A loss in November? That is nonsense.
