Who knows? I’m an “alternate history” (what-if) buff so your scenario could be possible I guess. I’ll leave others to judge. I still would love to have seen a Herman Cain vs. Obama race myself.

Romney LOST his homes states (all of them)
AND his home town of Belmont MA.

This was warned in advance, but ignored.
That is the way of the GOPe/MSM.

You said....
“2016 is a sure Republican bet since voters will experience miserable eight years of failed Obama policy.”

“Even Ron Paul could have won this election. “

Paul might have had 4 million votes nationwide. That would have been it.

John Kerry was actually the richest person to run.

I disagree with much of your analysis, not that anything matters now...And no, 2016 is not a sure thing. If it is a sure thing for anyone, its the f##cking demon-rats.

I can’t imagine any of the other primary candidate’s would have done better than Romney given the Dem’s favorable demographics in the swing states and the strength of their turn-out machine. In my dreamland, Romney was Governor of Michigan with a less flip-floppy record and a self-made dotcom millionaire as opposed to an too-easy-to-demonize private equity millionaire. That guy would have won.

Sandy and Christie and Binders and the 47% and Big Bird and Bain and Mormons and Millionaires and Offshore bank accounts….
These are things that the Media has breathlessly told us are things that we should be concerned about. And like good little sheeple, we have drunk their Kool-Aid. And we parrot and cite these reasons when we attempt to make some sense of this tragedy. And thus, we enslave ourselves to the tactics of the Left. We eagerly lap up their instructions on how we should conduct ourselves in the next contest. We fervently await their guidelines on what the tone of the next race should be and which candidates we should introduce. They make the rules and we end up playing by their rules.
Not me. I am a free American. I am not a slave to the Rules of the Left.
Sandy and Christie and Binders and the 47% and Big Bird and Bain and Mormons and Millionaires and Offshore bank accounts….
If you are a Democrat, Independent or a Republican, and you voted for Obama because of the above, you are an idiot…

That’s MY rant…

Romney lost because of mass fraud. We had huge turnout. Why does everyone believe that the movement from 2010 just “went away”? No one with any sense wanted obama to stay. This election was stolen, pure and simple.

There is no question that Obama was extremely beatable this year. But the “crawl through broken glass to vote against Obama” voters were not enough to do it. We needed a strong candidate that would draw voters to the polls. We didn’t have one.

According to the most recent figures I have seen, Obama got a total of 59,127,919 votes this year. That is less than the number of votes that McCain got in 2008 (59,950,323). So all Romney had to do to beat Obama this year was to get more votes than McCain, and McCain was one of the worst candidates that the Republicans have ever nominated.

Bush got 62,040,610 votes in 2004. If Romney had simply gotten as many votes as Bush did 8 years ago he would have beaten Obama in a landslide this year.

I agree with you.
Ron Paul had something Romney didn’t: passion. Mr. Paul actually believes in what he’s talking about, Romney... doesn’t.
Romney lost because people saw him for what he was, and that was certainly *not* what he was speaking.

The GOP did a great disservice to its base by taking them for granted and anointing Romney from before the primaries. The rule-changes, the refusal to seat delegates, the bus incident, the teleprompter incident (all at the national convention) all indicate how much he was pushed, as do the incidents where the Ron Paul supporters using the stated rules for the primaries lawyered in wins only for the rules to be retroactively changed, and the several states which declared Romney winner and later said “oops” (until the next primary was going on; 3 states IIUC).
