He lost because no one thought he was authentic. One day, he was a flaming liberal, the next a “severe” conservative. They are all phony, but he was particularly so. Very few people understood him or really connected with him.
Mr. Etch A Sketch screwed up an election that was the Republicants to lose.
I, for one, thought he WAS authentic!!!
An authentically deceived believer in a heretical religion.
THAT's why I didn't vote for him!
Someone shiowing that much lack of discernment sure does NOT need to be Leader of the Free World!
Had the wife of a “low information voter” say that he wouldn’t vote for Romney because Romney was one of those “bankers” that got us into this mess. I hadn’t heard that perspective, exactly, but I wonder if that resounded with many who might have voted Republican, otherwise?
Along those lines, Romney is associated with Bain Capital, and layoffs, whether good or bad, in a time where companies are laying off employees hand over foot. That probably stayed in minds. Otherwise, I just can’t understand it.
