That important caveat aside, it was good to see the coverage note Romney’s self-serving (if also insulting) spin for what it was. And it was also good to see both Reston and Parker hold Romney’s, and Ryan’s, accounts up against reality and show readers—right in the course of the main story, where the news was being reported—where they didn’t line up. As the campaign fades into history and looming legislative battles move to the fore, let’s hope we see more coverage that does the same.

Only ostriches with their head in the dirt and the rich who are scrambling to hide their money still believe that Romney would have been anything other than another disastrous president.
His immature and abusive minded behavior spans from the present all the way back to his youth, as demonstrated when he lead a group of bullies to attack a fellow classmate.
He's mean spirited and does nothing to help the image of the rich or of mormonism.
The world is very lucky he did not win.
