Here’s where the GOP went wrong - they pushed a lacluster candidate like Romney using one of the stupidest approaches ever - “He’s electable”. Clearly, he wasn’t.
There were many excellent choices early in the campaign but, too many Republicans voted for Romney (because “he’s electable”), instead of the candidate that they REALLY wanted to support.
So, since Romney was “so electable”, why isn’t he president-elect Romney today?

EXACTLY! The GOP destroyed our Republican Candidates early on that would have tried to fix whats broken... WASHINGTON! I guess it makes no difference in reality, because Romney still won my state of Arizona, but 3 people I know that ALWAYS support the Republican candidate, changed that this year... One skipped voting all together, for the first time in almost 50 years, One voted for Obama (said could not ever vote for any Morman after being screwed over by every one he ever met, including the one he was married to) and the third, did what my wife and I had planned to do, Leave that vote blank... We really did not want to vote for the lesser of two evils any more, but in the end, We held our nose and connected the arrow to Romney & voted FOR America instead. so, 4 years ago, that was 5 votes for McCain, that was only 2 votes for Romney this year, plus my Daughter who turned 21 and Voted for Romney too... So the total numbers may be close, but I am betting this pattern probably repeated itself, all over the country and there were alot of additional republican voters that did not vote 4 years ago that made this end up as close as it was, with the right candidate, and a complete turnout, Obama would not have stood a chance.
