Organization was the key.

Republicans should learn from it, while they were trying to win "the hearts and minds", the Obama campaign was identifying those they can get to the polls to vote for them.

IMO both are important. Obama had the machinery, the GOP better build one by the next elections and use it.

And if they can’t get them to the polls, they’ll vote on their behalf...

The Zer0 campaign had access to NSA insider information IMHO. If Snowden could do it, so can a DemonRAT Snowden.

no, the problem is that we have arrogant candidates and their supporters who spend every once of their energy killing each other off.....with friends like some freepers and pubs, who the heck would ever want to be a candidate.....because nobody is going to pass the PURITY test for some....

State elections are determined by independents. So you get to a point where you know that a voting district has a shift percentage that you can exploit. You max your money out in those areas...rather than safe areas. You can look across various states, where the Obama team spent almost nothing, because they knew it was either a safe-win or a safe-loss.

I’d forecast a repeat of this in 2016. At least thirty states will have almost no Republican or Democratic national money spent at all. It’ll be painfully obvious that either candidate has given up on the thirty states, and they both will concentrate on the remaining twenty.

You can also sense the importance of using Latino votes in the remaining states. If you can register new voters....they typically vote Democrat.

In the last hundred years about 40 to 50 percent of eligible voters have not voted for president. I wonder how many who do not vote now could be gotten to the polls to vote conservative?

creative energy in what resembled a high-tech political start-up

"Creative energy" resembling a "high-tech start up", hmmmm.

No doubt the Repubs have problems playing in the major league, but the Dims had a certain *edge* to their game....as in...NSA...dead voters, etc.

What was it called.... Orca, or something. Romney’s plan that completely broke down (sabotage by Leftist tech people?) in the crucial early hours of election day.

I don’t believe people knocking on doors to get people to vote for obama is what they were doing. They were working on fraud.

VOTER FRAUD was their key!

Someone once commented: First watch 8 minutes 16 seconds of video titled Romney defeated Obama - if not for voter fraud.

Then ... read and think about this.

And yet, if the Republicans hadn’t nominated a candidate pretty much everyone, even their own base, basically hated, Obama still would have lost, in spite of all their “sophistication.”

Yes. The dems knew this and had a head start in organizing.
Indeed, Obama's only qualification for POTUS was as a community organizer.
It is no wonder that a corrupt IRS was enlisted by Obama to criminally thwart Tea Party attempts to politically organize to the same level as the Demmunists.

Well, we all knew what they were doing, but the corrupt, decrepit GOP-e was too busy backstabbing Sarah Palin to take notice.

The bottom line is ,he failed. 3.5 million fewer votes in a larger electorate. Voter enthusiasm so low that voter turnout dropped by at least 5 %. Only second term President elected with a smaller % and number of votes in over 100 years. His only vicories , like now with his diminished capital in the second term , come from what the Republicans hand him. Like Boehner and no select committee on Benghazi.

Perhaps, but I suspect that NSA and IRS databases helped. We are facing pure evil, and Obama's side has no respect for the law or for human decency.
