There was no one of stature and fund raising power running against Romney, no first tier candidates, and Obama won because Romney was such a weak, anti-conservative candidate, he was a bucket of cold water on turn out.
He ran pro-choice abortion ads in three important states, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin, and lost all three.
Money is a real issue alright to get attention, but there were two other candidates who was going strong.
Personally I thought and still think rick Perry or Herman Cain would have made the best Presidents but people vote on who they think can beat the opposition.
They were very popular until they started getting trashed and then every one jumps on the band wagon.
Nearly 52 percent of Catholic voters voted for Obama even though he is plainly for abortion.
The only reason Obama won is because of the socialism that has been creeping into America for years, they are getting out and getting these people to the polls.
This could change but I will not hold my breath.
