Their error was in thinking the voters were stupid, and that they could buy the election.
Fatal flaw in their thinking. Ponder that, Rove...

What republicans are you talking about?
Republicans have figured out their mistake was running a moderate. That's a PROVEN fact because Romney got 3 million fewer votes among republicans than McCain did. Conservatives didn't show up to support the moderate. Period.
The republicans pulled a third of hispanics. How much difference would pulling 50 or 60% make? Not much.

Obama has been campaining in Iowa since he was elected the first time, by pandering to the auto industry workers.
He also released negative ads about Republicans before the Republican primaries were over.
Finally, the cities in Ohio have a huge black population, and Obama worked his ground game.
That's how.

What cost us the election was Donald Trump's stupid garbage and the lunacy out of those two idiot Senators with their retarded statements about pregnancy and rape.

Republicons will do anything and break any law to get ahead. Here one breaks the law to try to become president of the United States of America. They don't care who gets hurt. They just want all the chips.

Yes , we mistakenly thought Latinos were ambitions , God loving people with family values here to pursue the American dream .
We learned our lesson and won't make that mistake again.

Our error was beliving people would use logic in this election, not just say "oh he's black (even though he's not really black he's MUSLIM) ill vote for him since im black"
Or either " hey im an illegal immigrant and Obama give me free money that he takes from hard working tax payers)
