Another report that Romney really didn't want to run for president, his pathetic son Tagg kindly telling us 'even the day before the announcement he was looking for excuses to get out of it'

"The book also reveals that Mitt Romney’s family was actually against a second presidential run for Romney.

Balz writes that the family took a vote while in Hawaii in 2010 and “ten of the twelve family members voted no.”

“Mitt Romney was one of those ten voting against another campaign. The only yes votes were from Ann Romney and Tagg Romney. Some of the reservations were personal. All of them knew how disruptive and invasive a presidential campaign would be in their lives. ‘None of us were looking forward to the process,’ Tagg Romney said."

Tagg went on to say that “Even up until the day before he made the announcement, he was looking for excuses to get out of it.”"...via MichaelSavage.com

12/23/12, "Mitt's Son Says He Never Wanted to be President Anyway," Atlantic Wire, Connor Simpson

"If you thought the tale of how Mitt Romney lost the general election was already told, you would be wrong. Because there is so much left to tell, like how Mitt never wanted to be President anyway.  

At least, that's what Tagg Romney says in this new Boston Globe report on what went wrong with Romney's campaign. While the rest of the piece seems to say the problems lay in the Romney campaign's lack of technical advantage, and refusal to introduce the world to Mitt Romney, the human being, this little morsel from the Republican's son points to a larger problem:
 
“He wanted to be president less than anyone I’ve met in my life. He had no desire to . . . run,” said Tagg, who worked with his mother, Ann, to persuade his father to seek the presidency. “If he could have found someone else to take his place . . . he would have been ecstatic to step aside."

So, yeah, that might explain why Mitt lost. Not wanting the job you need to publicly campaign for more than a year to get is step one in the "Not Getting Elected Guide for Dummies" book. Again, the rest of the mammoth piece, which you really should read, paints a larger picture of the struggle between Mitt's inner circle and his campaign advisors over whether they should humanize Mitt, which was ultimately their downfall. 

And, also, the Obama campaign had more staff and cooler tech stuff....".

Comment: I was shocked to read that people gave Romney a nice applause when he showed up at CPAC earlier this year. The guy has just trashed you and your country and you applaud him? Romney should be in jail.
