Why Romney was blindsided by his loss, and why he lost

Gov Romney lost the popular vote by less than 3,000,000 votes.

From late 2010 until Mar 2012 an additional 7,500,000 folks had gotten themselves on the food stamps rolls, paid for by the government. "Free Stuff"

Several million folks are the recipients of cell phones, under the guise of having access to "911" services, paid for with that little $2.00 tax on the bottom of the cell phone bills that we all pay for.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the "free stuff" recipients could work 4 hours every 4 years (waiting in line to vote) to insure continuity.

Poor Governor Romney never had a chance.

what an absurd post.
yes, there are more people on food stamps, unemployment, etc. i guess you think that the entire economic disaster was in fact a democratically engineered plan to get more people out of work, and onto the oh-so generous 'free stuff' plan so as to provide more votes. because goodness knows, having two years of unemployment bennies is far more lucrative than money made from a job.
you might want to go read what democraphics voted for whom in the election. but then, i guess it's a lot easier to say free stuff, then to understand the republican party is committing long, slow, painful suicide. that their presidential candidate sucked, their platform sucks, their ideas suck, their comments on women, reproductive rights, spending, defense growth, etc, all sucked.
obama didn't start the cell phone plan. nor is he the president who signed into law food stamps or unemployment benefits.
