This is why Romney lost. And there’s no going back. There exists a majority that will vote themselves more of other peoples money because they have no skin in the game. All the rest is bs.

Bunk.
What lost the most recent election for the GOP was two things:
One:
Romney is a Mormon. Everyone pretends to forget that, but it’s a major reason he lost.
Two:
Obama is the first black president.
The two things doomed Romney.
The solution is:
DO NOT NOMINATE A MORMON.
And two:
Obama’s term will be over next time.
Yeh, like I’m going to believe some BS sampling from a bunch of commies and leftists who stole the election.
They’re covering their tracks, jwalsh07.

This is why Romney lost.
It looks like part of the problem, but there are other responses in that poll that are much more encouraging for future Republican candidates. For example:
Which ONE of these four candidate qualities mattered most
in deciding how you voted for president?(CHECK ONLY ONE)Candidate quality: Total__Obama__Romney
Shares my values: 27%__42%__55%
Is a strong leader: 18%__38%__61%
Cares about people like me: 21%__81%__18%
Has a vision for the future: 29%__45%__54%
Romney won three of the four groups, but he lost the "Cares about people like me" group by a huge margin, 18% to 81%. I interpret that as a reaction primarily to Romney's wealth, but the 47% comments are probably also part of that result. A future non-wealthy Republican candidate should be able to change those numbers.
