Teabags proven right about Romney’s suckage – already crowing over Mitt’s loss

They predicted it. They told the party elites that Romney was not the guy. They said that Obamacare could sink the President, but couldn’t be used by the man from Massachusetts. The eventual Romney loss was so clear to the teabags. So obvious. But did the GOP elites and shot callers listen…? Hell no. They went and forced this talking haircut on them, and now they are pissed. Pissed and vindicated. So vindicated, apparently, that they are not even waiting until election night to start talking about how vindicated they are.

After Foisting Romney on Base, GOP Elites Now Start to Gripe

One of the most interesting aspects of the 2012 election is how the tea party movement has proven more politically mature than the center-right’s self-styled elites, and those who spent much of the Republican primary season chiding swathes of people for being insufficiently pragmatic have turned out to be far more childish than the conservative base.

For the past several weeks, Mitt Romney has been surrounded by critics from the DC-Manhattan elite who’ve denounced him for a lackluster, unfocused campaign, teeing off on Team Romney in the wake of the 47 percent comments for a number of issues—but mostly, in my read, from failing to take their advice. Romney’s defenders, meanwhile, have been many of the same individuals who spent the primary season torching him in effigy as the encapsulation of everything they hate about the Republican ruling class. For months the elites bashed the base for failing to suck it up and see the big picture, to line up for Romney and come on in for the big win. But they got their wish!
