[quote=Anonymous]Romney lost because the other guy was better. Obama appealed to more voters and had a better ground game. He increased voter turnout for young voters and African-Americans and Latinos from 2008. He lost because the country is Center Left, due to social issues (gender and marriage equality, for example) but Fox News isn't ready to hear that. Conservatives lived in a bubble that led them to believe that Obama's base fell out of love with him. That never happened! They thought this was their election for the taking and that everyone blamed Obama for high unemployment, as if we all were oblivious to the Republican-led fiscal plunge that he inherited upon taking office. Conservatives thought talks of self-deportation would be forgotten by Latinos in the general election. They were wrong. They thought threats of overturning Roe v Wade could be erased and women wouldnt care. They were wrong. They thought shouting "You lie!" at the First Black President during his first SOTU address wouldnt offend African-Americans, and calling him the food stamp president would draw enough White voters. They were wrong. Being a Mormon may have cost him a few votes the same way being Black surely lost a few Reagan Democrats for Obama. It's not the reason he lost.[/quote]
