Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney would have won the presidency if the white and black turnout rates had stayed at their 2004 levels, according to a new analysis of 2012 election.
“The battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida and Colorado would have tipped in favor of Romney, handing him the presidency if the outcome of other states remained the same,” according to The Associated Press’s summary of research by William Frey, an expert at the Brookings Institution.
Overall turnout declined from 62 percent in 2008 to 58 percent in 2012, Frey reported.
The drop-off reduced the overall turnout by up to 5 million votes, despite a slight increase in the number of eligible white voters, said the AP report....

But I'm free to call you on the myopic nature of your position as well.
Best of luck to you.
Don't enable bad behavior. That's what you did, voting for Romney. It moves the GOP left. That's your fault.

Romneybots spread misinformation in behalf of Romney and against Reagan.
Reagan was never pro-abortion, and like most of America in the 1960s when he signed that bill, was shocked to see what the "health of the mother" turned into, Romney is still pro-abortion, and campaigned as pro-abortion and as against the GOP pro-life platform.
All this was posted to you in post 170.
Reagan was never pro-abortion. Early on he was pro-life with exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother. The nature of the debate and legislation at that time did not have the stringency in rhetoric that exists today. As time went on, he became more stringent in his exceptions and his rhetoric.
The ACLU on the legislation Reagan signed:
California’s Therapeutic Abortion Act appears in our statute books exactly as Governor Reagan signed it in 1967.A progressive measure 35 years ago, the Therapeutic Abortion Act now is archaic, confusing, and unconstitutional. A lawyer researching the Health and Safety Code today would read that abortion is legal only if a hospital committee determines that the pregnancy will gravely impair a woman’s physical or mental health or a District Attorney concludes that the pregnancy probably resulted from rape or incest.
Congrats, you reeeallllly enabled bad behavior by reelecting perhaps the most evil charlatan in US history, and it's likely his second term will take us down in the most final of ways. Congrats.
Sorry, it was the choice you made, now you get to live with it, and I'm proud to remind you that you could have gotten rid of the bamster, but you did nothing.
The idea that it wasn't our own fault about Romney winning is fatuous, I never supported Romney, but I wasn't going allow a devoted flat out deviant and evil Marxist muzzie to destroy us because I didn't like the squish.
That would have been true insanity.......
And Ansell, anyone who knows me doesn't lie on this forum about me being a Romney bot. It's never been true, you're simply a liar and a weasel, and (to xzins) I have no regrets for saying that, because he is. Xzins, you know that I'm the farthest thing from a Romney devotee, so kindly go lecture him about his repeated lies.
Reagan became THE best president ever for those of us who are pro life, it's a slam dunk, he really worked to get rid of Roe v Wade, but to claim he was ALWAYS pro life is simply untrue. Spin it all you want, pretend it was so, but it wasn't.
And just so you clearly understand, he was NEVER pro-abort to my knowledge as Romney clearly was.
Last, Sir Ansell, your claim that Romney has ALWAYS been pro-abort is simply untrue, he hasn't changed since 2006. But you do like to lie, Sir A.......so keep on doing just that.
This thread is a thread of you being a romneybot, look at your first post, a rage at me for no other reason than discussing Romney in a negative way, you have a long history of doing that, the nastiest, most angry personal attacks.
Reagan was always pro-life, and never pro-abortion. Romney is pro-abortion and is one of the most passionate dedicated, sincere promoters of it, we have him giving incredibly moving tales of why abortion is important to have, and how he lost his dear family friend because it was illegal, and how his mother was courageous for campaigning on abortion in 1970.
Lying? Romney ran pro-choice TV ads in Ohio, and lost the state.
Romney came out against the GOP pro-life platform in August 2012 and restated his pro-choice, “health of mother” position and claimed that you Romney supporters knew it because he campaigned on it.
CBS, August, 2012, with Scott Pelley:
PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?
ROMNEY: No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. I’m in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.
You're not only a liar, but seriously delusional.
As to attacking you, frankly you deserve all the scorn you can get, liar that you are......
A liar, a poor decision maker, and an Axelrod conservative. That about sums you up.
Yes Reagan was always pro-life, was never pro-choice, and on this thread, just like a long list of threads that I can link to, you jumped on to attack me for criticizing the pro-abortion Mitt Romney who you claim ran on a conservative Romney platform.
Thread after thread of you being the most nasty, dedicated, passionate defender of Mitt Romney on freerepublic, even now, many months after the election, lashing out with the same words ‘liar’ ‘axelrod’ (whatever that means), on thread after thread, month after month, using the Reagan/Romney line as well, in the most vile and personal attack ways, true rage and anger in defense of Mitt.
There is no person on freerepublic more dedicated to or more hostile and nasty and personal, more unrelenting, more passionate, in defending Mitt Romney’s candidacy than you, on all of freerepublic.
One freeper stands alone for Mitt Romney, ready to take every thread into the gutter for his/her man.
You might want to rethink what you are doing Ansell, lying separates you from God, but I guess you've forgotten that, or maybe you never knew.
My point has always been that YOU failed in your elementary duty to get rid of total evil in our country. YOU FAILED to do what you should have done: To get rid of the Marxist, anti-Christian, pro muzzie, worst, most divisive, most anti-everything you claim to care about and love administration ever, that was the choice you made, and you failed. Keep pretending I'm a Romney bot you liar, point is YOU FAILED in your most elementary duty as a citizen.
YOU FAILED to discern between pure evil and a squish, you're a joke.
Go ahead, keep lying about me being a Romney bot, you know it's not true but you can't face the truth in this matter, so you lie. And lie. And lie. And you continue to separate yourself and you don't even know it, much like you couldn't do the right thing in 2012.
A liar, an Axelrod conservative who bought the lies. You should be ashamed of yourself, ashamed to call yourself a Christian or a conservative.
You can look at post 190 and see what Lakeshark posts, month after month, after month, on thread after thread, it is this nasty personal stuff in service to Mitt Romney, mods have had to pull many of her/his posts in the past.
There just isn’t reasoning or talking to him/her, personal attacks and insults and blind rage seem to be the only thing she can do.
No one else on freerepublic is so obsessed with fighting for Romney and protecting his legacy and reputation and influence and absolutely despising anyone who does not approve of him.
Post 190 is a great post, it tells the truth. You’re a liar about me being a Romney bot and you know it. You lie a lot, I was just telling you the consequences of that, since you’ve forgotten.
Go ahead.......
Look at your posts on this thread, look at so many other threads just like this one.
And you want to pretend that you are not the absolutely most rabid, raging, lunatic, Romney devotee on all of freerepublic, just flat out crazy nuts in his defense?
If you aren’t, then you can avoid my Romney posts, and ignore them in the future.
You might want to look up some of what the Bible says about lying and its consequences Ansell. It would do you a lot of good.
This is May of 2013, it will be interesting to see if in the future when I criticize Mitt Romney, if we will see a replay of this thread of you jumping on to go after me, which itself is a replay of thread after thread, after thread, or if you can just ignore my criticism of the man.
What IS consequential:
1. The most evil man in the white hut ever, BHO, is still president (along with his horrible entourage) because of fools such as yourself.
2. You've spent a lot of time claiming I'm a Romney lover, devotee, and bot, none of which are true, yet you continue to lie about it. Keep on lying Ansell, just look up what the consequences for that are. Cmon Ansell, look it up, because you are lying and you know it, you just can't admit it yet.
