Thus this election has shocked the Old Guard as the guy the Old Guard was pushing (Bush) just never sought the voters he needed.
The real story has been the way Bush ran his race just like Mitt ran and lost before him.
the idea that had was that they needed to draw close to the "undecided" and be in the middle of the road.
Mitt's lack of vision handed the election away
Bush's lack of learning the lessons from history handed his election away.
