much like when romney failed to pay attention to what the polls were all saying:

Analysts who have studied the vote, for example, have given credit to Obama's massive get-out-the-vote effort, which dwarfed its Republican counterpart.

Polls and interviews also suggested that, in part, those voters were driven to Obama by the Republican's conservative positions on issues like immigration, abortion and the role of government.

that's from the la times article...i just don't get why romney can't actually take a good, hard, long look at the facts. why does he have to find excuses and play games about gifts, and why people didn't vote for him? i know why i didn't vote for him, and it had nothing to do with freebies.
