Romney wasn't the only one who botched it. Rove botched it. Priebus botched it. Akin botched it. They all botched it

And yes, Romney was the nominee from early summer on. Pretty much every nominee for the Republican or Democratic top spot is decided by June. So why wait a couple months to make it official? The party already has its nominee and its platform. Get it over with already.

Because most people zone out for July/August so why spend General Election money in dead zones? - Will Hunting Mar 19, 10:22
You wait a couple months to make it "official" for financial reasons. Primary funds and general elections funds are two separate pots. - Ender Mar 19, 10:17 2
- So you wait to spend out one pot before spending out of the other, even though it's going to be the same message either way? Not good enough -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 19, 10:19 1
  - The general election pot is much smaller than the primary pot, so the less time you spend it in the more effect it has. -- nm - Ender Mar 19, 10:23
