He lost because of "47%" and his signed WSJ editorial against the Detroit bailout. He lost in the purple states. All the deep red states voted for him by landslide margins. FL probably went for Obama because there are a lot of union worker retirees living there. I understand why he de-emphasized Benghazi. Nobody sees al Qaeda being anywhere near the threat that the Soviets were, and for good reason.
