It was a combination of voter fraud, being outplayed and a failure of having a ‘pure’ candidate that some conservatives cannot seem to get past of having before they will cast a vote.
What I wrote yesterday:
If Obama had used Nate Silver’s voting algorithms, he could have used very little in fraud effort. (Nate Silver of the NYTs).
“...a failure of having a ‘pure’ candidate that some conservatives cannot seem to get past of having before they will cast a vote.”
NO! It was the decision of the GOP Establishment to foist upon conservatives (yet again) a presidential candidate who can “win moderate voters”.
Time and time the GOP Establishment has sandbagged genuine conservatives (see Palin, Angle, O’Donnell, West, and Akin). GOP establishment types, lobbyists, and professional pols would rather have President Obama in the White House than a genuine conservative who would shake things up.
It is way past time for the Republican Party to go the way of the Whigs. It is time for a new party to rise up from the ashes.
Mitt Romney’s loss had nothing to do with conservatives, regardless of your personal desire to keep promoting that false message in hopes of concealing the absurdity of having a radical Reagan hating, romneycare, gay marriage, pro-abortion Massachusetts Governor with a single, shortlived election victory in his life, running against a democrat, and thinking that is the answer to anything.
As this thread shows, he just couldn’t win people over.
