I think Romney was already a lock for the Republican party by the Alabama primary if I recall correctly. I voted but more because of local elections.
I warmed up to Romney during the election some. I never could get over the fact that he was from the most liberal state on the planet.
I have real concerns about who the republicans will have for a candidate in the next election. We do not have a front runner acting as the face of the party and we should have one by now.
