This explains nothing - it's a very weak attempt to try to “explain away” the fact that Romney wasn't really anyone's choice in the primaries, he was just the guy left standing after he eviscerated via attack ads anyone who was leading him. Does anyone really need software to help them to remind people to vote for them? I submit NO, they don't. If Conservatives want to vote for you, then you wouldn't be able to keep them away from their polling place. Further - Ronald Reagan never had “software” to remind us to go vote for him.

If THIS is what they're trying to pass off as the “reason” Romney lost then it really only explains what a lousy nominee he was in the first place.

You raise some good points. Romney was way, way down my list in the primaries. He did not start winning big until the other R’s had been peeled away.

However, the Rat GOTV efforts have proven to be exemplary. They have won the popular vote in five of six elections. Rat turnout has been excellent in 2008 and 2012, and part of the reason is getting people’s butts to the polls. The Rats do this a lot better than the R’s, and part of the reason is that they have made efficient use of modern technology. The R’s have not, and it reduces turnout, which is costly in a close election

By the way, Ronald Reagan never had a campaign website, but I think he would have one if he were campaigning these days.

That’s right: DEFLECTION propaganda, as the talking points of THEIR candidate.

GOP-e nominated the guy who (last time around) lost the primary to McCain who then lost to 0bama.

What could POSSIBLY go wrong? (We know the answer now.)
