American voters decided to give the first black POTUS a second chance.
This was always the wild card. I've said it for the past two years: if it was John McCain or John F Kerry, reelection would've been unthinkable.
If you want to blame some candidates, blame Mourdock and Akin who lost 300K-500K votes compared to Romney's winning margins in those states. Were they RINOs? Were they GOPe? Were they godless false profit worshippers as I'd seen said about Romney?
Rush Limbaugh set up the War on Women in his foolish 'slut' battle with Sandra Fluke while Mourdock and Akin gave that talking-point life for the Democrats to rail against. Cain's bimbo eruptions didn't help either. I'm sure Rush will claim no responsibility.
Nope..... We warned you guys about Romneys ‘prevent defense’ strategy and were proven right. Sure he was more aggressive than a McCain or Dole but that’s not saying a lot. He allowed Obama to defined him early on without any real response thinking that with the bad economy that all he had to do was look competent and he would run out the clock.... Sorry, Romney is in a long line of Republican Estsblishment losers
Reagan couldn’t get nominated with the support of the GOPe, now or in 1980. They are the greatest enemy conservatives have.
