This question for Republicans only..?

I think that the opposition was really successful at painting Romney as a greedy women hater. They did this early. The sad thing is that Romney is really a wonderful and selfless person. People that know him practically worship him. He is one of the most descent and caring people you could meet.

I think that Romney lost for a number of reasons, any one of which, if corrected, could have won him the election. I do believe that there are a number of Christians that could not bring themselves to vote for a Mormon. They were so caught up in religious differences that they could not see that Mormon values are the same as any other Christian group. Rather than vote for someone whose religion they chose to think of as their enemy, they settled for a president who does not share their own values.

I think that God is happy that we as a nation can decide on our leadership. However, God will not condone a society that accepts evil practices such as rampant abortions or other perversions.

I'm not a republican, but you ask an interesting question...

I wonder how it breaks down by state? two following links give state totals... where did McCain do better?

http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/presiden...

http://www.google.com/elections/ed/us/results

at first glance... California seems to be a BIG problem... McCain got 4.5 million votes in 2008, while Romney only got 3.5... that's A MILLION votes lost right there in one state

did all the calif cons move? who knows?

still looking...

Texas actually had a slight bit MORE people vote Romney than McCain... New york was about a 200k loss for Romney vs. McCain...

looks like blue state conservatives didn't show up... so far...

EDIT: many states had very similar numbers between McCain and Romney, but not better, which is surprising since McCain was after Bush... and obama lost a little steam in many states, but not enough to lose to McCain's old numbers/Romney's numbers

Taking the in the previous poster's aspect that there are not fairly any "leaders" interior the Republican celebration, there are certainly a number of Republicans who've publicly recommended violence antagonistic to the U. S. authorities in some style or yet another. that's actually treasonous, pretty even as it comes no longer from any mere citizen, yet from an elected professional who has sworn an oath to uphold the structure. or maybe if that is anecdotal, no matter if an inordinately extreme share of human beings on the unconventional top flock to Yahoo! solutions, countless the flaws one sees in posts on listed less than are very anxious, and probably very risky. That any such vast quantity of people were weened off of serious theory and fed propaganda for lengthy sufficient that they are receptive to such radical options will actually must be addressed in our society as urgently and heavily as conceivable.

Conservatives didn't like the moderate Romney. They were also pissed that the guy the people picked (Ron Paul) had his candidacy stolen by Romney.

Edit:

Ron Paul was running as a Republican. I was talking about the primaries and the Republican candidacy. And for the record, I voted for Romney. That will be the last time I vote Republican short of another Ronald Reagan. I've been a Libertarian most of my life but occasionally vote republican in certain situations. That officially ended this election. I will not be personally responsible for the destruction of the country. If no one else agrees with me then so be it.

Obama's first day in his second term. He went to a meeting with the UN They took a vote to ban all hand guns WORLD WIDE !! It was a unanimous vote with 65 countries to ban guns. Obama said he agrees with it too. All he has to do is sign the USA over to the UN then there Constitution will override ours forever ! He didn't sign yesterday but he said he will be back. I am sure he is asking his puppeteer what to do

The fact that Romney was a mormon, most likely didn't effect people not voting for Romney. As far as I know of. For example, I'm a christian and I go to a baptist church. My preacher had a serman about the election. He actually encorouged us to vote for Romney. Even though Mitt is a mormon, he stood for the morals of the church. Pro life and making gay marriage remain illegal. Most of the christians I know of voted for him.

They were thinking human beings who knew Romney was a douchebag Liberal.

-don't get mad at us. Next time don't allow the GOP to put forward such a POS.

I mentally toiled for weeks on whether to vote for Gary Johnson or write in Ron Paul. Romney will never receive my vote.

Maybe their necks were injured from watching Romney change positions so quickly and that impaired their ability to use the voting booth

I voted for Gary Johnson.

The real campaign is the fundraising campaign. The other one is just for show. Follow the money.
