You make good points BUT voting stats who that if the same number of people who votef for mcLame in 08 hads voted for Romeny in 12 Romeny would have won.
I would hope that if all the facts surounding FAST and Furious as well as Benghazi had been known and reported by MSM some of the coters who voted for the GOp in 08 would have been motivated to vote for the GOP in 12
2008
Obama 69.5 million
McCain 60.0 million
2012
Obama 65.9 million
Romney 61.0 million
Although those numbers don't matter as the Electoral College selects the president.
I am convinced many voters did not vote for Romney or Obama, chose to either not vote or voted for another candidate for President. In my opinion those voters knew exactly what Obama stands for, and knew enough to know they wouldn’t vote for him. They also had reasons to not vote for Romney, so there you have it.
