No, this is a serious question.
If the Republicans here give a unified answer, then they have hope.
If they give widely differing answers, then they are doomed.
An out of touch political party?
A party that wants to return America to 1950.
A party that refuses to accept a new and different populace.
A party that refuses to acknowledge a bigger and more dominant global economy.
The GOP will not win until they evolve-
I blame people who can't spell "speach" and their ilk..................
Do we have to pick from that list? This is a legitimate question, yes?
Personally, nothing on that list fits my guess.
I think what "hurt" Romney was that so many literally believed the scare tactics of the other side over women's rights etc... under a Romney Presidency.
I think it shows the number of younger votes, because as a person who has seen many elections now, and heard all those same arguments over the years about how if elected so-n-so is going to take us back in time with woman's rights, I no longer even give those claims credit. I see them for what they truly are, scare tactics.
However, I think the younger, less experienced voter, actually believed the scare tactics used by certain parties.
So while I sort of select women's right issues as a key factor in the outcome of this election, I actually think it's more due to the less experienced voter who actually believed bogus scare tactics that have been used in so many elections prior.
P.S. Let me add I'm neither a dedicated Democrat nor Republican.... simply a voter very disappointed in Obama and what he's done and NOT done for our country as a whole.

No, the list is just factors I've seen one person or another blame.
Give only the ones you think are relevant, and add in any that you think relevant, that are not on the list.
BUT do order them. Don't just say what might be relevant - give some indication of which factors were (in your opinion) very important, and which were not.
Let me just say that I found the majority on that list to be irrelevant in my own personal opinion.
