Thanks Strategerist. He had a higher turnout, LET’S BLAME HIM!
Careless misinterpretation on Strategerist's part, or careful indoctrination?
He had a higher percentage of a MUCH SMALLER vote total.
IIRC the total voter turnout was 50.1% (which, allowing for voter fraud by the Dems) was likely < 50%).
Romney was (as many here pointed out long ago) the favorite of the left: Bain Capital, flip-flopper, Mormon, rich, white bread.
If he had drawn larger numbers (absolutely -- from both Evangelicals and the mythical "undecideds") he would have won.
He lost the evangelicals on being Mormon, and on a history of liberalism / flip-flopping / abortion support.
He lost the moderates by allowing Obama to make a photo-op with Chris Christie to distract from Benghazi, and not countering the easily-manipulated slut vote on the idea that he'd "take away their birth control" (Griswold v. Connecticut anyone?)
Cheers!
