Take that simple statement, and you can translate it to any demographic group.

"A lot of Christians didn't support Romney because ..."
"A lot of strong conservatives didn't support Romney because ..."

You’re absolutely right! I did vote for R/R but apparently not enough people who COULD HAVE didn’t- just look at the poor overall turnout! I, too, bought into- we’ve turned into a socialist country, there are more mouchers, etc...but if the same number of people who voted for Bush in 2004 couldn’t come out eight years later in 2012 then the candidate/party/ and the their supporters (’04) are truely to blame....that simple!!!
