[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think that throughout the NE he would have had a stronger R turnout but for his space alien religion. I know that didn't deter NE Dems--but it did deter R's. Old style R's are not enthused by a candidate that believes in space aliens.[/quote]

The polling information and other analysis really doesn't support this. Even if this were the case, the margins were not very close in the NE and would not have turned this into a win for Romney if he had been a different religion. Romney was an unpopular governor so his track record in the NE hurt him here with Republicans as well.

Romney lost with moderate Republicans because he wasn't a compelling candidate, moved to far to the right during the primaries, and then had big problems with key segments. The fact that he was a multimillionaire that made his fortune on buy outs and business history of outsourcing was one of the biggest problems. Romney symbolized for many working class and middle class americans the stereotype that still got rich even when the financial collapse wiped them out.

A moderate Republican with a middle class background and some previous political success in office would have won. [/quote]
