This article says in white collar areas, turnout was good. In blue collar areas, it was way down. This article is the single BEST analysis of "what went wrong" I've seen so far and should be read in its entirety. Romney had a business career which was easily demonized, as was proven by both Ted Kennedy and Newt Gingrich. When you made your millions on companies that for whatever reason often went out of business and laid people off, that can easily be turned into political poison, and it was. This is something I warned people on here and other sites repeatedly about during the primary. It's not a crazy theory, it's something many people predicted would happen.
The Bain issue was an issue conservatives had a tin ear to, because they like capitalism, profit, and all that good stuff. But this was Romney’s true Achilles’ Heel when it came to a general election and swing voters.
