obama isn't an elitist? 99.9% of politicians aren't asshole elitists?
There's an important difference here. Romney was an elitist asshole even before he entered politics. Obama didn't become one until after he won.

Romney lost because he was a SHITTY candidate. The man has a core made of Jello.

Let this be a lesson - elect someone who actually believes in something.

Kind of depends on what they believe in I would think. Anointing then electing George "I believe I'll snort another line of coke off a hooker's ass" Bush Jr didn't work out so well.

Of Chris Christie. He single handedly handed Obama the next 4 years.

Romney lost because he had too much too hide and too much to run from. Both he and Ryan were already clearly identified as threats to every social assistance program the gov't now operates, so when both of them backpedaled on their far right stance concerning gov't programs, it didn't stick. Romney pretty much screwed himself having to brand himself as a staunch defender of an isolationist far right agenda in the primaries and Ryan, well, his abandonment of the middle class, the minorities and the poor in his now infamous budget proposal had him dodging bullets the moment he accepted running mate status.

Bottom line: Romney/Ryan couldn't fool the independents and the undecideds into thinking that the far right ideology each had to carry around like a ball and chain was open to compromise. Both lived and died by the Tea Party sharpened swords they wielded.

Obama has to thank the Tea Party for his win. lol

Romney lost because...he was too liberal! We need a true conservative to run in 2016.

Because he wasn't the mormon indicated in the prophesy who will save America during a constitutional crisis.

This is the case of citizens united fucking over Republicans... I've heard people say that if Romney wasn't the the Republican nominee they wouldn't have voted for Obama.

Blame the fact that Governor Romney was able to buy the nomination over others like Rep. Gingrinch, Gov. Perry, or Rep. Bachman.

Romney lost because nothing sticks to this president. People give him the benefit of the doubt.

I voted for Obama not because I thought Romney would not be able to lead the country better than Obama but rather because of the kind of voters that supported Romney. The crazies on the far right scared me so much that if Jesus came alive again to run as their candidate I would have to vote against him too.

Nate Silver made you his bitch, lol
Nate silver didn't do a thing.

The polls were right, that's all it boils down to. His model assumed the polls were right and they were. The internals had some very wrong data in them however.

Are you really shocked that the Obama was able rise above your shit-storm of lies? For every turd you hurled at the president, it looks like they finally came back to hit you in the face.

As if Obama's core voters are better?

This is probably the best answer.

His health care plan is going to be wildly unpopular when its actually implemented when people don't get free shit.

People don't care. As long as they get to import their family from Mexico and get an Obama phone, it's all good.
