#1 You know, maybe, if you put the conservative at the head of the ticket rather than as an after thought to appease your base outside of the Beltway, you might actually attract far more of your base.

#2 I think Romney would have won (probably did, given an honest vote count) once he tromped B.O. in the first debate. Remember, he held up Champ's suit and shook it real hard and and the entire country saw that it was empty. But after that Willard fell back into safe mode. Rather than tearing him up again in the last two debates he recited his talking points and bored the people who were waiting to jump up and down and cheer.

Had he done that, and he has the intelligence to do it, the enthusiasm would have carried through to overcome the 115 percent turnout in urban areas; the unusually large turnouts in the counties, made up of people we've never seen before or will again until next election; the unceasing stream of lies and half-truths saturating Florida especially, probably all the swing state; and his hilarious claim to have somehow created X million jobs in the course of his administration while unemployment somehow remained at the very same level it had been when he started.

#3 Lots of fraud. No question. But Champ still got lower counts than he did in 2008. Romney couldn't turn out his own voters, mostly because they weren't his. They were Republican / Conservatives, and they were not excited about a guy who indistinguishable from Champ on so many issues.

Your logic fails me Titus. I blame the "free stuff".
