Sorry, I still don’t buy all of the negative talk.
Romney ran a good campaign right up until the end of the first debate. If the election had been a few days after that debate, it would have been a Romney blowout.
But instead Romney chose to sit on his lead and coast to victory. I’ve listed 10 things that went wrong for him (starting with a TOTALLY BOTCHED get out the vote effort) and he still managed to keep the election reasonably close.
Yes, Demographics are trending against us...but that is slow, and this country is far from lost - be we need a candidate that isn’t afraid to campaign hard to the very end - rather than trying to pull in that non-existent independent. I have one of those “independents” at work. She owns a gun...she’s married - to a guy...she is far from a flaming liberal. But she saw one commercial that said that Ryan supports no exceptions to banning abortion, and that was it - Obama got her vote...and, at the same time, 5 Evangelicals sat home (because of Romney at the top of the ticket) and didn’t vote.

She’s a “ladyparts voter” (new term which I take credit for coining).
Obama won them to the tune of 68% and the Pubbies are going to have a VERY hard time ever winning their votes in the future.
They’re going to be amongst the toughest nuts to crack...
Romney didnt sit on his lead, he was still building it when crowley snatched it away from him in the 2nd debate. Remember? When she backed up the obama lie about benghazi? And then the next day admitted that Romney had been right? Romneys momentum was broken by that debate, and that LIE! Had she not backed up obamas lie, Romney would have been pronounced the blowout winner of the 2nd debate, just like the first debate, and obama would have never stopped his momentum.
Ever wonder how obama KNEW that crowley would have that misleading transcript? They had it PLANNED! Had to!
