I suspect McCain and Romney both KNEW THE FIX WAS IN and went along with it.
To me it makes sense when I recall the excitement injected into the McCain campaign when Palin joined, and the confusion I had when the Campaign neutered her.
Romney just wilted after that great debate he had.
Traitors BOTH!
Edit: No one wanted Obama, except the defective media. Surely Obama knows how regular Americans reject him on a political as well as a personal level.
They are both deep into deep state. McCain was executed.
