Why Romney was blindsided by his loss, and why he lost

[GenuineRisk]

There was a pretty good piece on Breitbart's site, of all places (yes, I really do go to right wing sites, too), about how GOP ads are made- that there's a limited list of approved people to do it, and if a GOP candidate tries to go off the approved vendors list, the RNC won't give them any money. It's turned into a real gravy train for the approved guys, who are turning out inferior ads and overcharging.

I'll be curious to see if there's an overhaul of the list. I know at my old job we had approved vendors for purchasing, who frequently cost more than other places, but we were given no choice in the matter- we had to spend more for the approved places. Huge waste of limited budget money, I thought.
