Re: None of this is making sense....How did Obama win?
Obama was drawing hardly ANY crowds. We saw it with our own eyes. None of it makes sense.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20926074


You don't get it. He ran a modern, virtual, futuristic, electronic, social media campaign just like he did last time.

Physical presence doesn't count. It's all virtual.

During Hurricane Sandy I know people who got a personal message from Obama on their iPhones and Androids saying something like "Hi Cynthia, this is Barack Obama and I hope you are safe and sound during this hurricane. Here is some important information you will need in the coming days, etc. etc.".

He did this on a massive scale and it worked.

How did he win?


He appealed to most voters. I like this site, but it is not representative of the United States electorate. In fact, I would say that there are more conservative users than there were when I first started looking at this site a few years ago. So what goes on at this site is far from what goes on in mainstream America.

Also, I think many Obama voters just don't have the time or resources to attend campaign rallies.


I also think a lot of people voted for him because he was the lesser of two evils.

I think if Romney hadn't tried to appease the far right so much he might have won. Then again he might not have been the GOP nominee.

"None of this is making sense....How did Obama win?"

This is the sound of a cancervative stepping out of the alternate rightwing universe, into the real world.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3125540


I'm not a right winger....I'm a moderate whose main concern is the economy

Unless every thing is really planned out by the elites ...and I'm really starting to think this is a huge possibility



But if the American people really do vote a man into office ....

Then I think that this is how Obama won

only 20 something% of Americans identify themselves as liberals....

So the Liberals figured out the best way to get into power and keep it

This is how


they target groups

they target African Americans , Latinos , illegals from Mexico, of course other liberals, the Elderly by scaring them, the Unions , the youth vote , the Jewish vote

They do things for Latinos and blacks......they give them welfare and entitlements ...and that hurts our economy

They do actually do something for illegals....they help them to break laws and stay here

They actually do things for unions but these things hurt our economy

Of course they do everything they can to help fellow liberals ....and this destroys our economy and the moral fabric of america

I have absolutely no idea why Jews vote for liberals....liberals hate Israel and love Muslims

they do nothing for the elderly that republicans don't do ....yet somehow they are able to convince them that the republicans wanto take away their Medicare


In contrast ....republicans targert hard working people who want to pay low taxes and keep America strong morally ....and that percentage of people is getting smaller and smaller and that's about it ....

republicans don't targert ethnicities ....they just target people who want to succeed financially and live the American dream and that no longer can win elections ...

So my prediction is that republican will never win the presidency again....if a republican cant win in a election like this where the economy is in complete shambles then they will never win...

I could see a libertarian winning before a republican wins

The United States of America is Dead
 Quoting: Simple_Man


Best synopsis I've seen all night.

Many of Romney's themes -- whatever you think about him personally -- spoke to American exceptionalism and were not pandering to any group.

That mode of campaigning is now over. It's dead.

Democrats have a firm hold on constituencies for life.

A CNN commentator noted YOUNG people who voted for Kerry and now Obama twice are "Democrats for life." They don't have minds of their own. Liberalism is the opposite of individualism. It's group think. Dems got a monopoly on it.

 Quoting: Simple_Man


You need to read different sources. I was reading time and time again that Romney was typically doubling the number of people at events.

The economy is in a tough place - thanks to Bush. It's mending, slowly...

Romney was not a good candidate. The Republican needs to think deeply about the future and how to be relevant again.

The fact that Romney refused to release his tax records, a tradition his own father started, should have been enough of a message for most people that he was a bad candidate.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26719780


Romney DID release his tax records! Something like 15 years of them!

And most of us do read many sources. I don't know a single person with a sole source of information.

At least Romney had a little class unlike these liberal thugs. I can't stand to hear Obama's voice any more knowing how he hates this country and will do everything in his power to destroy it. Radical Progressives finally have the power they have wanted for forty years.

Re: None of this is making sense....How did Obama win?
It's simple enough: the average voter does not like being cheated and disrespected by someone like Romney who inherited his money and is as out of touch with ordinary people as a eunuch in a harem.

Take the "47%" speech. Most of the people for whom he expressed contempt are old age pensioners. They vote! They didn't vote for a crook who promised to cheat them.

It's predictable the repubes will through the sort of tantrums and riots that they said Dems. would do. They too are out of touch with reality and ordinary Americans.

Romney earned his own money and donated all he inherited to charity.

The 47% Romney spoke of, he did not say he didn't care about them but that they will not vote for him no matter what and looks as though he was totally right.

These welfare recipients are not going to vote for anything except more for themselves from the public coffers. Unfortunately, this segment of the population has become the majority and they can now take and take and take until there is nothing left. Nothing to stop them now.

Don't quite understand you folks who say Romney was pandering to the far right, from my perspective he ran as moderate a campaign as any Republican could. If you think he was far right, man you must be pretty far left yourself. He was anything but.

Great analysis above by some. I don't see the reasoning behind saying he won because of minorities, and that it means whites are done for as a voting demographic. Mainstream figures I saw reported that of all voters, 73% were white. 73%! Talk population changes all you want, that's still a big majority. It also means that whites put Obama back in office.

With the changes coming, the only way I see Republicans surviving is to throw out the bullshit, and target whites and whites alone. They will never win over the blacks and browns, but with times sure to get harder for whites, they could Ppconceivably take the white vote, which at 73% is really the only thing that matters.

Btw, those statistics also indicate that no matter how much talk there is about browns being the new dominant group, apparently only less than 20% of them were either legally able to vote, or bothered to show up.

Re: None of this is making sense....How did Obama win?
Bush is not the reason the economy is where its at you lame people (Liberals) This all started with Clinton...When he signed into law that made it affordable that anyone.....and I mean anyone can buy a house. He said to Fannie mae and Freedi Mac that if you do not loan these people who cannot afford a home, you will be fined....Thats where these sub prim loans came in....everyone stared buying homes...it was crazy...then in 5 years from when you sign the mortgage papers, you payments will increase....These loans started to increase while Bush was in office....sure the economy boomed during the Clinton years because after he leaves office, the next President will have to worry about the mess...Bush cought on to this and had hearings,thepeople in charge...Barney Frank...said...Nothing wrong here, move along.....people started to loose their homes all over America...That;s when the economy started to drop....

also, when clinton took money away from our Military and security forces....our Special agency's (FBI, CIA,) were not talking to each other because Clinton's administration put road blocks in communications....That's when 911 happened....that also took us to another level.....

I hold Clinton responsible for all this....
