I agree with Ann’s facts and partially her reasoning, but I think there is more to it. Obama had a better strategy for getting elected period.

He could target his voters with superior data and call them out, specifically. He also had a better ground game to double down on shenanigans.

I believe given the same marketing strategy Romney could have won.... even overcoming the obvious buying of votes Obama did with our tax money.

Dissecting the race and how each candidate did either good or bad will be an interesting topic for time to come. However I ran across this piece about the Obama campaign's internal polling. It makes for an interesting read as to some of their thinking and what they deemed important. Take it with a grain of salt as it is from one prospective.
