Romney lost because the Repubs never turned out. This election and his was not won in the middle, it was lost on the Right. He gave nobody a reason to vote for him and had a horrible GOTV plan. The dirty little secret is, the middle actually likes leaders and the sweet spot for voters is 10% to the right.

I don't buy that theory. Romney received one million more votes than McCain did in 2008. Obama received 3.5 million votes less than 2008, but he still won by 5 million votes. Romney's vote total was about a million less than Bush's 2004 all-time high of 62 million. Romney received the second highest vote total of any Rep in history.

The fact is that Rep voters are older and dying off. Obama did the best with younger voters,

Lot’s of those minority numbers were thanks to 110% turnouts. You get your Repubs to vote and voter fraud doesn’t work.

There was no doubt voter fraud, but what states did Romney lose due to voter fraud? There really weren't that many close states. Romney barely won NC, which has now become a purple state.

Here in VA, we increased GOP turnout by 100,000 over 2008 to its highest level ever and still lost by 150,000 votes. VA is now a blue state when it comes to statewide elections. The changing demography of the state has changed it.

YOU need to read his 27 page manual its brilliant. It’s key is to get all the pubbies out and he is doing it with really high high numbers.Numbers so good its hard to lose.After that he goes after indys totally ingnoring the dems which in itself is a brilliant strategy.
I don’t know if it will work state wide.It would take bigger organzation but it should.
