Romney lost the election because of Ron Paul supporters - Sunday, November 11, 2012 3:35 PM ( #1 )
...and thats a good thing.

Ron Paul was treated like dirt.



Here is another reason why the GOP lost badly. It is called simple math. The following statistics were put together by Hamdan Azhar, writing for policymic.com. It reveals that, “in no less than five states, Romney’s margin of loss to President Obama in the general election was less than the number of votes received by Ron Paul in that state’s primary.” Although not all of the votes have been counted and recorded yet, the trend is obvious.
Florida
Obama votes: 4,141,618 
Romney votes: 4,094,952 
Romney loss margin: 46,666 
Paul primary votes: 117,461 
Electoral votes: 29
New Hampshire
Obama votes: 366,089 
Romney votes: 325,668 
Romney loss margin: 40,421 
Paul primary votes: 56,872 
Electoral votes: 4
Ohio
Obama votes: 2,691,861 
Romney votes: 2,584,620 
Romney loss margin: 107,241 
Paul primary votes: 113,256 
Electoral votes: 18
Virginia
Obama votes: 1,868,191 
Romney votes: 1,767,692 
Romney loss margin: 100,499 
Paul primary votes: 107,451 
Electoral votes: 13


Primaries always have lower voter turnout than General Elections anyway, so in an election he would have got far more than the above.

I hate all politicians with a passion and hope they are heavily punished or executed for their crimes.

  Yeah this just isn't correct. You are assuming that Romney voters would have supported Ron Paul just because you did. In 2000 I voted for Nader. They say that cost Gore the election. No it didn't. A) I never would have voted for Gore. B) Pre 9/11 GW was the better candidate on my list C) Those weren't Gore's votes (don't know how hard that idea is to beat into some Democrats heads.) D) Nader was by far the best choice. E) Tipper Gore and her PMRC were not wanted on Capitol Hill.

Chard Apparently anon were another factor in Romney losing http://www.examiner.com/a...eft-with-ohio-firewall
Freaky. I am not a conspiracy theorist (ie I don't buy the illuminati garbage) so I will remain skeptical. But, in this day and age, it certainly seems possible if not downright true. I wouldn't put it over on Rove. But the failure to do so ruins his chances politically.... he has no more push when people lost millions and millions betting on his guy. If this is true, on behalf of freedom loving, Americans everywhere, we thank you, anonymous.
