Analysts who have studied the vote, for example, have given credit to Obama's massive get-out-the-vote effort, which dwarfed its Republican counterpart. Polls and interviews also suggested that, in part, those voters were driven to Obama by the Republican's conservative positions on issues like immigration, abortion and the role of government. that's from the la times article...i just don't get why romney can't actually take a good, hard, long look at the facts. why does he have to find excuses and play games about gifts, and why people didn't vote for him? i know why i didn't vote for him, and it had nothing to do with freebies. edit-just finished the new yorker article, like the end: There are, of course, other, larger problems for the Republican Party to grapple with over the next few years. But they’ll have trouble solving many of them if they can’t get past this and realize that Democrats don’t have to bribe voters—not when their opponents are so interested in insulting them.Read more: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blog...#ixzz2CKwqAXnM

as for how people vote, i look at the whole picture, or try to. of course that's not how everyone does it. but to assert that romney lost because of 'freebies' is both ignoring romney's stance on issues, and is an over-simplification. when you look at the demographics of the vote, you'll see that obama got support from pretty much every category of voter. romney did not.

And if you're talking Social Security, it's 88 percent white and just under 10 percent black. In the interest of full disclosure, it's worth noting that the stats are from 1990, which is the most recent year available, and the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program doesn't actually exist anymore, having been replaced in 1996 with TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families).
