Dan Senor figures out how politics works

By Richard K. Barry

Senior Romney campaign adviser Dan Senor is bitter because some Republicans were sucking up to the big guy for administration jobs when they thought he was going to win, but have since been trashing the poor bastard now that he has lost.

"I won't mention their names, but they're talking about Romney like he's Reagan. You know, 'The debate performances were the best debate performances of any Republican nominee in presidential history. This guy–he's iconic.' They were talking about him because they believed he was going to win in four or five days," Senor said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." 

"In fact, some of them were already talking to our transition to position themselves for a Romney cabinet," he added" 

"Still not naming names, Senor said the tone dramatically changed in the days following Romney's loss, as many top GOP leaders conducted post-mortem analysis of the campaign."

Oh, Dan. How long you been in this game? This surprises you? I don't want to shock anyone, but if President Obama had lost, the same behaviour would not have been hard to find. It's a cold world out there.
