#1 Here's some numbers to crunch -
2008
Obama 69,456,897
McCain 59,934,814

2012
Obama 60,432,728
Romney 57,631,410

Those 9 million disenchanted voters didn't turn for Romney, they just didn't show up to vote for the office of president. Tacking to center didn't entice them to switch their behavior.

Meanwhile Romney/Ryan lost over 2 million votes from McCain/Palin. I'd say that Palin really wasn't the problem so many made her out to be. So where did those 2 million go?

#3 If they did, then Obama lost 11 million of his previous voters.
