Sounds good, right? Like our buddy Romney is almost winning! Wow!

Except, that this actually means he is a terrible failure.

A silver medal in politics? Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but that means you LOST! There is no gradation like in sports. You've won, or you've lost. In a two party system, there are usually only two choices. No middle ground. Pass / fail.

By this measure, Romney is 1 for 3 or 33.3%. In my school, when you got grades like that, we called you an unmitigated FAILURE.

Have a nice day, Mitt. I think you're a shoe-in for the bronze in 2012!
