While she has hardly even pretended to tack to the center
And there's your problem. Tacking to the center is a common assumption among the politerati. When Republicans tack to the left, they lose like Romney. When Republicans tack to the right, they crush it like Trump or Nixon. Democrats always need to tack to the right. Both sides pretend to be right to get elected, which through the insane lens of the beltway appears to be the center between them and the people, then govern far left.
Democrats are the irrationally racist if we accept the nu meaning of racism. Republicans are right when they say that but it is utterly retarded that when they do it in response to being attacked with bullshit accusations.
Hard right lol, pretty sure taxation = slavery was not a plank on his platform. I assume you're referring to Paul Ryan's dumb idea to campaign on reforming SS/Medicare.
It didn't matter who went up against Obama in 2008. The economic disaster was 100% successfully pinned on Republicans with not even a "no contest" out of Bush. The money pit that was the war on terror was 100% successfully pinned on Republicans despite every single Democrat voting for it with again a "no contest" out of GOP leadership. The race was Obama's to lose and with all the support from the former CIA director's son, they made sure it would be his turn.
Like most politicians, just more obviously in his case, Romney has no opinions. He'll take whatever position thinks will get him into office. He thought adopting that health care plan would help him by having a 'success'. That's all. There's nothing else.

Romney tacked to the left on social issues and to the hard-right on economic issues.
Social liberalism and economic conservatism has the fewest number of adherents, except among the elites.

That, and the 47% crap.
Although I'm not sure even a better candidate would have beaten Obama.

2008 Obama was an invincible force of nature, 2012 Obama could have theoretically been beaten by an actual candidate.
47% is about the only correct thing Romney has ever said.
Romney was the one who implemented Obamacare in Massachusetts. He was a neocon joke from day one.

"I'll double Guantanamo" - remember that?
