I call baloney on that. Romney was ahead in Ohio in some polls, its not like it was an inevitable loss. The margin btw is super tight 1%. As noted Libertarian vote was > margin of victory.

Auto bailout politics as used as well as ‘war on women’.
Folks like Akin were used by Democrats as a distraction from the economy, and then when economy came up, they’d blame Bush.

Romney needed more than just the economy to win Ohio.

have you lived in Ohio for over 40 years too?

The Republicans should have been battling the Obama narrative ever since 2009--not letting him lie constantly about what caused the collapse in 2008. Clinton's speech at the DNC may have been the boost that Obama needed to evade being blamed for the economy--but the Republicans had been silent for the last 4 years instead of trying to educate the people.

There were some Republicans whom Romney could never win because of his Mormonism or his actions as governor...but picking Ryan did a lot to reunite the party. I think his biggest mistake was being too cautious--not making Benghazi or the incompetent response to Sandy an issue. Some of that is his personality, but some may have been being snakebitten by the outrageously dishonest way the media had been reporting the campaign.

Except that it wasn’t.

Go look at the numbers.
