"'If you look back at George Bush's loss in 2000 (in the New Hampshire primary), you can trace it back to his decision to blow off the Dartmouth College debate in the fall of 1999. That sent a message that he didn't believe he had to do all the things that the others were doing.'"

According to this crowd, Romney is using McCain's strategy from 2000. Didn't that end up yielding an embarassing loss to President Bush? I am concerned when someone repeats a winning strategy, but a losing strategy? I am confused.
