Mitt= Bob Dole...Sarah 2016
McCain > Romney? bad > worse? Ouch.
The media and all the anti-Romney spammers here can be happy now that conservative voter turnout was depressed
I’m sticking with the Mormon theory. Ohio has enough conservative Christians for it to make a difference. Same with FL and VA and NC.
Palin was on ticket last time
Just another totally implausible fact coming out of this very strange election.
That is the weirdest thing I have seen so far. How is that possible? McCain was just awful. Mormon thing? Best explanation I have seen at this early juncture.
So lets see just how smart Ohioans are: The auto workers think Obama bail out nation is better for them than R/R energy nation.
And the Ohio evangelicals are more obsessed with Mormonism than they are Socialist Black LIberation Theology. How is that Biblical in any way, shape or form?
Maybe this is why....

Not that it matters all that much, but doesn’t Ohio have 130,000 provisional & absentee ballots they said was going to take 10 days to receive and count.
As per every election since 1964, the pct as decribed below is repeated
The Ohio relationship continues - National Pct: Obama 51.1 Romney 48.9 ; Ohio Pct: Obama 51.0 Romney 49.0 - Dems underperform.

I guess Muslim > Mormon
One big reason in Ohio that gets overlooked -- the Ohio legislature, dominated by Republicans, passed Senate Bill 5 to stick it to unions. The unions gathered signatures & put it on the 2011 ballot then turned out big to repeal it.
There are a lot of union members & households in NE Ohio who could potentially vote Republican & have before (i.e. "Reagan Democrats").
However, the GOP was tarnished over what happened with Senate Bill 5 & the unions did not forget.
Not the only reason for last night. But I maintain it's a bigger one than people suspect.
Also democrat voter fraud
Still 300,000 absentee and provision ballots.
Still 300,000 absentee and provisional ballots to be counted.

They must hate Romney so much that they just couldn’t bring themselves to vote for him, even though they probably wanted Obama to go. Why do they hate Romney? Are they hardcore conservatives? Some perhaps, but that is not enough reason to cause such hatred. I think it is either
So, at least it isn’t demographics or anything else that is impossible to change in the foreseeable future. Just nominate a poor evangelical, next time…
It’s all about branding. Clinton went on every Talk show, even on MTV, Bush got kissed by Oprah. McCain never saw a microphone he didn’t love. It’s all about getting out there. I think a lot of folks who don’t really follow this stuff were like Mitt who? I think ideology is secondary to “rock star” tactics.
