I don't think anyone disputes Romney was the best candidate. Your argument seems to be he was a weak candidate, but he was the best they had. That means something. The best candidate, in a very favorable economic environment, got crushed. Demographically, republicans lost to a black guy 2 elections in a row in 2 southern states. Dems protected every senate seat, many in very red states.
The republicans won't have an electoral context much more favorable than this, and yet they lost on all fronts! That's huge.
