We need an analysis by congressional district with final, certifiable votes.
“Imagine: If someone had told you that Barack Obama would receive 9 million fewer votes in 2012 than 2008, you would have predicted his sure defeat. You would have been wrong. Republicans blew a huge opportunity.”
We didn’t vote. It’s our own stupid fault. Stand back and watch the next years under Marxist rule, you morons who were too pure to vote for Mitt.
“We need an analysis by congressional district with final, certifiable votes. “
It’s the stupid irresponsible purists who wouldn’t vote for Romney that are certifiable.
One word:
FRAUD
Did McCain really beat Romney, or did Democrats simply step up their vote fraud this election?

Romney now has 1mm fewer votes than McCain, not 2mm fewer as the article states. Romney may wind up having about the same number of votes as McCain did.
The President now has 7 million fewer votes than last time, not 9mm as the article states.
Obama : 62,280,959 Popular Votes
Romney : 58,899,127 Popular Votes
I hate being right....
How is this a surprise? Romney lost to McCain in 2008. McCain lost to Obama in 2008. Doesn’t take a genius to figure that Romney was a bad candidate to run against Obama in 2012.
Sigh. Add yet another author to the incompetent moron brigade.
It's basically mathemetically certain that Romney will have ended up with more votes than McCain.
“That’s where the hurt comes. It appears to mean that our side lost because we failed to turn out our side.”
maybe a simple phrase is apt in this situation
“an echo not a choice”
This comes from Romney’s approach to handling the charge from Obama that so much of the economic ills are from what “he inherited from the previous administration”.
Romney’s response on this was so weak that at the most it only said - “well it wasn’t me either”.
In other words, Romney never forcefully attacked the premise - things were bad because of what Obama inherited.
Failing a forceful attack on that premise, he was not making that much of an example for why Romney.
Just thinkin - opinion not set in stone.
I wonder who all those people standing in long lines voted for. Most of the news I watched showed and talked about the long lines and long waits for people to get in to vote. Where’d those votes go?
I understand why you feel that way, but polling showed only 4 percent of the public cared about Foreign Policy this time. So I can see why the Romney campaign didn’t jump on it. Turns out it was a mistake, but I can see why they made it.

I guess some people hate Romney more than they love America. Sad.
Should read, Palin beats Romney.
What it means is that you cant win elections WITHOUT the base. I would even argue you can't win without a highly motivated base. Nominating a conservative is what motivates the base.
THE SMALL GAIN IN MODERATES DID NOT OFFSET THE LOSE OF CONSERVATIVES!
This is a lesson that the GOP-e refuses to learn.
Is it possible that a huge number of the base didn’t want to vote for a Mormon?
Just scour various FR threads to see how predictable that turnout, or failure to turnout, was going to be. Romney is a RINO, he’s a Mormon, blah blah blah. So, of course, we’d prefer Obama! He’s a certifiable leftist.
Conservatives can be even stupider than the GOP.
I’m not buying it! I’m simply not. Every poll had Republican enthusiasm through the roof! Every report from people I know in strong republican areas where freaking out about the number of people they saw a the polls, myself included. How do our number deminish? I’m not buying that Romney was crap. He’s better than McCain! I’m not even buying the Palin argument because to be honest she has higher negative poll numbers than anyone ever in history.
I believe we were there to vote against Obama. Where did our votes go?
