It was about the threat that was Romney & Ryan, carpetbagging elitist lying scum. They, like most medium-intelligence/ultra-high ambition narcissists, work in short term to maximize return on time & money invested. America's problems need a sure, easy, measured long term repair. And that makes no one instantly richer, which is the goal of every psuedo-God fearing workaholic.
Obama is no saint, but by comparison, R&R were the bringers of the Zombie Apocalypse, that's why.

3) Did not capitalize on first debate momentum. Chose to go small and play it safe afterwards, not understanding America's limited attention span.
4) Did absolutely nothing to attract African-Americans to his cause.
5) Did absolutley nothing to attract Hispanics to his cause.
6) Changed his position on abortion, and did not speak out strongly enough against the RNC Platform, Akin, and Mourdock.
7) Did absolutley nothing to attract Gays/Lesbians to his cause.
8) Was a Northeast moderate who passed universal healthcare as Governor. Couldn't escape or explain that while attacking Obamacare.
9) Had a politically fatal video of his "47% comment" that become a campaign issue that he couldn't defend or explain.
10) Had surrogates that attacked Obama on levels that were distasteful and disrespecful to a President with superior likeability.
^^^^And this.

No, see, my facts come sourced and cited, unlike yours. Why can't you ever keep that straight?
No, see son, what Im doing with those "stabs in the dark" is what Chis used to refer to as "poking the monkey with a stick."

Yep, that right there is a pretty good list.

Well, it's kinda hard to hide being an alien bug overlord underneath a skin suit of a Sears menswear model who's come here looking for the galaxy on Orion's Belt. Eh, for long, anyway... Sugar water???
Heh.
You know, for a guy with as much money as he has- total and complete LACK of individual style. He couldv'e started a trend at least, and gotten the vapid/trendy vote, easily... Go with Robot. That'll give them absolutely NOTHING to identify with. I can't wait for an interesting President to come along.

Because Obama won females, African Americans, Hispanics, gays, the 47% and the young - and Ohio. And there just aren't enough rich hetero old white men to carry an election.

Don't you mean "And there just aren't enough rich, hetero, old white EVANGELICAL men WILLING TO VOTE FOR A MORMON to carry an election"?

I voted for Obama, but I did it with a sense of distaste. Only the abject horror inspired by the opposition was able to move me to choose him, the lesser of evils

Yes, that is much better. I wish I had posted that.

Honey Boo-Boo was a Romney supporter.
A declarative statement, not a question. Had you asked, then I could have let that slide, but instead, you flatly claimed that she was a Romney supporter, as if you in fact KNEW that to be the case. You didn't. You HOPED that was the case, and wanted others to think it was true, but it wasn't.
FAIL.
