It was NOT voting fraud that caused us the election. It is 100 percent in the lap of Romney and his cheerleaders. Arrogance is 100 percent what happened. It was so pathetic to see Romney lovers say he was going to get over 300 electoral votes. So ridiculous. That pisses me off most...the second thing is that Romney supporters did not take polls seriously. They were accurate and people blew them off. When you think you have it in the bag then you are not going to work hard enough to win and that was Romney’s biggest problem...ARROGANCE! Santorum should have been our nominee from day ONE. Santorum is a hard worker and would have won this thing because he has a core and has principles. Lost opportunity!!!!
Romney had an attitude that it was just his turn to be president. He felt his fellow elitist friends could make sure he won. It just didn’t work out for him. Fooling conservatives is difficult because they look past what you say to what you actually do and his actions did not fit his sudden turn around. He wasn’t believable and that is why fewer people showed up to vote Romney. It wasn’t just that he was a Mormon or that he came across as soft and smug.
Actually, it was neither fraud nor Romney. It was demographics. There are a lot more blacks, Latinos, Asians, young people and single women in today's electorate than there were in 1980. The Republicans need to make gains with one or more of these groups or they face long-term irrelevance.

Nobody here on FR (myself included) believed the polls. We were wrong. The media may lie, but pollsters' economic success depends on accuracy. We need to start believing them.
