It may take election experts years to unravel the mystery of why Mitt Romney was convinced he had won the 2012 presidential election, as a new report shows some skewed internal poll numbers, and explains Romney’s two trips to Pennsylvania.
But at the same time, the article from The New Republic’s Noam Scheiber shows inconsistencies with reports from November 5 and November 6 about the numbers that might have convinced Romney and his team that he had a good chance of beating President Obama in Ohio.
Obama’s resounding win is starting to take on more of a resemblance to Harry Truman’s “upset” in 1948, with Romney playing the role of Thomas Dewey.

Obama wound up with 332 electoral votes, taking every swing state except North Carolina. Somehow, the Romney campaign was seemingly convinced that he would win one of the final three swing states, or make a strong showing in Pennsylvania.
[snip]
The conclusion is that Romney, based on his internal polls, thought he had at least 267 out of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the election, and the election would be decided in four states: Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Nevada

Thanks, good explaination. I still say the paulnutz and Mormon haters re-gave us nobama, adding into the dem fraud voting in Ohio and Floridah.
What’s super curious, these news outfits are never be able to find any time to research and compile the number of fraud votes.
BS article.
Romney took Missouri and North Carolina. Missouri was a lost cause to Obama so he abandoned it. Look in the swing states, blacks appeared to help out Obama and massive fraud helped as well. Case closed. Also did not help Romney is Rino and many voted for others or skipped him in the swing states.
There is no mystery. Honestly. Romney had the edge, but he lost it due to fraud and a better ground game in swing states from Obama. Romney had the debacle with some voter notification system called Orca.
So let them riot. Not like it hasn’t happened before. Occupy Wall Street was rioting in various cities. What’s new? They riot, bitch and moan whenever they don’t get their way. nothing new.

I may start voting for them every elction if republicans give us a rino and there is no real conservative party formed. I came awfully close this time. I almost wrote in Virgil Goode.
But like everyone else I wanted Obama out so I voted Romney.
“Per other ‘insider’ threads, the Romney campaign was in disarray in the final days.”
Sabotage.
There was a story months ago that said the election was in the bag. I think it was.
You’d have to be brain dead not to see the similarities between Romney and Obama. Romneycare = Obamacare. That in a nutshell was the problem in nominating the architect of Obama’s plan. He was milquetoast moderate in Massachusetts.
He is not conservative.
Let me refresh your memory:

'Open' primaries went a long way in sealing the deal for Romney.
Well I say the idiots in the liberal states like New Hampshire and Arizona and Virginia, in the primaries, gave us Obama because they voted for the worst candidate in the field other than Huntsman. Romney was the worst. I don’t blame anybody for not voting for him on our side because I almost didn’t vote for Romney. So there. Nominate a rino then get a loss.
Even the numbers I quoted seem to indicate something fishy about the counting as well. However, that is an argument that cannot be proven; things simply feel wrong for Romney to do so well with Republican, especially those on the Right, and lose some of the places he lost. Still, I have no proof.
Obama also abandoned Virginia and Florida. Looking at the exit polls, most of the margin of victory came by those who saw his storm speech and their legs tingled.
Because their economic plans were so similar... *rolls eyes*
