SHIELDS NAILS MITTENS! "The first presidential candidate who wherever he campaigns does worse"

There's been a lot of analysis and discussion of Willard's total loser of a campaign. But columnist Mark Shields nails Romney's problem in a nutshell.

I have a different theory.

And the theory is that Mitt Romney is the first presidential candidate in -- certainly in the last 35 years who wherever he campaigns does worse. And I think that's his real problem.

Shields is right.... When you're down 2 nationally but down 11 in the states you've been campaigning in, there's no other way to understand this.
