Romney's Defeat Caused by "Extraordinary" Drop in White Male Support[Election Autopsy]
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 4 December 2012 | Daniel Bates

Posted on 12/05/2012 5:36:30 AM PST by Mrs. Don-o

Failed campaign: Mitt Romney's staff found that he lost an 'extraordinary' number of white, male votes during the election - traditionally key supporters of the Republican party

And in another blow, Romney’s own campaign manager also admitted that his infamous 47 per cent comment was ‘the epitome of low during the campaign’ - from which they never recovered.

California as he reflects upon what went wrong. Now Neil Newhouse, his campaign pollster, has begun to sift through the data to determine what the key factors were.

He said that he had to give ‘credit’ to the Obama campaign for getting out the Latino and African- American vote, and praised the President’s so-called ‘ground game’ for being extremely effective. He said: ‘We weren’t surprised by racial composition; we were surprised by the partisan composition...

The real hidden story here on our side, the number of white men who didn’t vote in this election compared to four years ago was extraordinary... And these white men were replaced by white women. We were taking a group we won by 27 points and replacing them with a group we won by 12-14 points.’

... In an interview with Talking Points Memo, Romney’s campaign manager Matt Rhoades said the candidate’s 47 per cent comment at a behind closed doors fundraiser became a real problem.

He said that they put in place a five-point plan to rebuild Romney’s image but he was unable to recover. Rhoades said that they tried to ‘gin up our surrogate load’ by sending high-profile Romney supporters across the country to ‘speak to the governor’s character'. Big speeches were lined up and Romney was asked to speak in front of a podium instead of walking around the stage - but in the end it all came to nothing.

Massive Voter Fraud is the 800 pound gorilla in the room. But the Marxists will carefully not speak of that.

Pat Tiberi is my dufus congressman. He is the type of politician you describe.

He is in the leadership of the GOP which took away committee positions from conservatives.

He was challenged in the primaries by a competent, smart, Tea Party/Libertarian candidate named Bill Yarbrough.

Tiberi won by a landslide.

We have an electorate problem.

Yeah. It wasn't vote fraud, even though Democrats cheat in a diverse variety of ways, from dead voters to illegal immigrants to "helping" old folks and mental patients exercise their franchise, to busing homeless to the polls to vote. And it wasn't that Romney was, judging by his record, functionally a liberal Democrat, the enemy of limited government conservatism. No, no, no, it wasn't any of those things. IT'S ALL THE FAULT OF WHITE MALES!!!

Can't you just imagine this was the scene with Obama and his Commie staff after stealing the election through voter fraud- while Conservatives blame Romney, argue, point fingers, blather on about who to run in four years, 'starting a new party', and try to figure out how to suck up to minorities the 'next time'?

Map from Barack Obama Voter Fraud 2012


What most refuse to acknowledge is that it was unlikely that ANYBODY could have beaten the voter fraud planned and perpetrated by the Obama machine. They seem to prefer pointing fingers, blaming Romney and blathering on about who to run in 2016 and how to suck up to the minorities.

>Polls indicated that Romney was going to win the election.

>The economy is close to Great Depression era conditions, and unemployment is almost as high as when Obama entered office.

>Economic conditions became so dire after Obama took office it prompted the rise of an entire new movement, the Tea Party.

>Presidents rarely win reelection when the economy is in the tank.

>Mitt knew it too, when he was met by several thousand in that parking garage cheering him when he arrived unannounced at that airport, and he put his hand over his heart and said, 'This is how you know you've won'.

So how did Romney lose a race that numerous reputable polls and pundits predicted would be an easy win, based on historical patterns?

Massive voter fraud.

That and no other reason



We can not wait for 2014 and 2016 to regroup and figure out new strategies. By then it will be too late. The Marxist/Muslim usurper will have completed his planned distruction of America. That's what people fail to understand.

We must act NOW.

Start with the election. If we let the Rats get away with this massive voter fraud, we're no better than a bananna republic.

We must keep digging and pounding him every day, in every way we can- phony birth certificate, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, his hidden life, records....



Almost every major Conservative website has put out an article charging voter fraud- Breitbart, American Thinker, Atlas Shrugs, WND, The Blaze, Front Page Magazine, Fox News, The Daily Caller, Town Hall, Human Events..

It falls on ‘We the People’.

These elections are NOT certified yet. The only way to get this investigated, much less recounted or overturned, is through the Secretary of State of each of the five key states: Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. EVEN IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER STATE you can help. But it won’t do any good to dilute our effort to challenge California or Michigan or other states. Until a major group gets involved to do more, here is the plan: Contact the Secretary of State of the state in question. See contact information below...

If you actually had taken the time to divest yourself of emotions such as fear and disgust with Obama and taken a cold hard look at Romney's record, you would understand that Romney would also have participated in the further dismantling of freedon and prosperity, the rising costs and taxes, the expanded union power, the likely appointment of very liberal SC judges, the cementing in place and expansion of Obama/Robertscare and the expansion of the welfare state in general. However, he would have done it a smidgen slower, BUT he would have done it under the auspices of "Republican" and, between "moderate" (liberal) Republicans and Democrats, would have so marginalized limited government conservative Republicans that they would have had LESS chance of stopping the "dismantling" than they do now against Obama.

I'm sad Obama won, but I'm glad Romney lost because I know that the theory that conservatives would "hold his feet to the fire" was akin to the rainbow unicorn theory.

Hmmmm.....lets see, if it was my job to make votes for Romney magically go away and I had access to recent census data in swing states, I wonder WHO I would suspect of voting for my opponent. Hmmmmm.

He owns the website and considerable influence on this board.
He lobbied hard against Romney and likely paid a dividend to Obama. Only thing you can do about it is not contribute money to the website.

Why don’t you just FO! Quit blaming the voters and not the lousy candidates put up by both corrupt parties. Obama is a commie and Romney is a loser schmuck that evidently could not attract any blue-collar white voters in the NE or MW....the southern WM/Blue Collar Voters did vote for Romney but his dumb Yankee homies did not.

the MSM and the Republican establishment saddles us with a moderate ‘democrat’ and then the party wonders why people did not vote...

Ditto. I had all I could do to bring myself to vote for "etch a sketch".

Now if somewhat of a political junkie activist such as me had a hard time voting for Mittens, how can one expect people less involved to care and vote at all?

I couldn't bring myself to put Etch a Sketch, Massachusetts liberal, Mitt's bumper stickers on my vehicles or signs on my lawn.

This is the first election when both haven't been plastered with Republican signage. The repub party has wandered way to the left of '60s democrats. I USED to put 4X8s on my Unimog and military trailers and move them around to high travel areas

I USED to pick up signs in Concord and bring them north, then as soon as foliage season was over, bring many of them back south.

Maybe if we get a conservative constitutionalist in a future year, I'll become active again.

Voter Fraud!!! Voter Fraud!!

I am so disgusted at the refusal of the Republicans to attack the voter fraud!!

Voter fraud was the heart of the defeat of the Republicans. How can a district in St Lucie County, Florida, have only 7 REGISTERED voters and get 900 votes into the system?

That just cannot be a simple electronic mistake!!

How can voters in a number of states complain that touching the screen for Romney gave them a vote for Obama? This needs to be addressed and the Republicans are blaming Romney!!!

Get your heads out of the sand!!! Republicans will NEVER again hold a major office if they keep accepting voter fraud.

I am ready to change my Republican registration of 51 years to something else.

Where is the Tea Party???

keep the money coming. If we can take Congress and peel that back

The "peel that back" part will never happen in any modern political system, unless at the point of a gun or an external threat to cut off essentials like food (as Greece was told). If you tried to peel back entitlements or benefits in this country it will be the threatened recipients who will have you at the point of a gun.

Well, a system collapse would accomplish that, also. But no system collapse will occur until/unless the big banks fail (and aren’t bailed out, for whatever reason).

Lets see if years really do confer wisdom...

Tell me something. Since refusing to compromise principle makes people like me ‘Purists’, and corruption is the opposite of purity, what pray tell does that make those who believe as you do?

Take your time crafting a response that skirts the obvious. I’ll wait.

I am so disgusted at the refusal of the Republicans to give us a conservative candidate!

Yes...voter fraud in some areas ran rampant. and voter fraud, corrected, could have given Romney the presidency by a few electoral vote.

but Romney was a crap candidate...and with a conservative candidate we might have swept into the presidency. We let the MSM and Country Club republicans pick our candidate once again
