It might be a comforting thought, but I haven't seen much evidence.
Democrats have edge, but presidency still in play (Michael Barone)Obama earned the downgrade. His final vote total will be 4 to 5 percent smaller than in 2008marking the first time in American history a president has won his first bid for reelection with fewer voters and with fewer electoral votes than in his initial run. (By contrast, Mitt Romneys final total surpassed that of his Republican predecessor in 2008.)
I'm talking about the fact that the large majority of states voted just a little bit more Democratic in 2012 than they did in 2004.The Partys Problem
Romney was not a drag on the Republican party. The Republican party was a drag on him. Aaron Blake pointed out in the Washington Post that Romney ran ahead of most of the Republican Senate candidates: He did better than Connie Mack in Florida, George Allen in Virginia, Tommy Thompson in Wisconsin, Denny Rehberg in Montana, Jeff Flake in Arizona, Pete Hoekstra in Michigan, Deb Fischer in Nebraska, Rick Berg in North Dakota, Josh Mandel in Ohio, and of course Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana. In some cases Romney did a lot better. (He also did slightly better than Ted Cruz in Texas, a race Blake for some reason ignored.)

Obama Lost in states with photo ID, Won in states withOUT photo id..
The lack of evidence in most cases is because OF NOT searching for any evidence..
However Obama may have basically won in some places BUT MASSIVELY WON because of fraud..
There could be a whole range of possibility’s..
I doubt republicans STAYED HOME.. but their votes were “converted” or “LOST”.. or other options..
Not only in the presidential elections but in the republican primarys as well.. could be in State and Local elections too..
The differences between 2010 elections and 2012 elections screams something fishy is going on..
Going on in ALL ELECTIONS...
