I am amazed that people keep returning to evangelicals when seeking to place blame for Romney’s loss. Despite being basically shunned and shut out by the Romney campaign, on a percentage basis more evangelicals voted for the guy than any other group, Including Mormons themselves.
So, any post mortem analysis needs to recognize that Romney failed to capture other groups upon which he did focus, yet retained this group even though he made no effort to do so. He still lost Catholics with a Catholic Vice Presidential candidate. Didn’t even carry Wisconsin. Fail.
Try concentrating on outreach failures where there actually was an outreach failure and there might actually be some benefit to be derived.
Excellent point ~ there was a failure in his primary outreach group ~ the undecided middle grounders ~ they totally failed to show up.
