That doesn't explain why 10 million voters didn't show up, most of them apparently dropping from Obama's column. Romney had about 10 million people who refused to vote for Obama this time also refuse to vote for him. That can't be explained by Obama's handouts, only by a dislike of either Romney and/or Republicans that equalled their dislike of Obama and/or Democrats.
Romney was disliked, I didn’t like him myself,but now we see what happens when you stay home. The next 4 years will be disastrous.
Obama has already gotten cocky enough to threaten the GOP over Susan Rice.
Why not he has seen what Republicans do when threatened, they cower.
