Many pollsters predicted a Romney win, but were proven wrong on Election Day 2012. Did pollsters fail to account for cellphone users, or did Romney fail at turning out the GOP vote? Did voter fraud play a role? Find out as Michael Barone analyzes the results of the 2012 election with Glenn Reynolds.

THER WAS NO RE-ELECTION. There was only a big time fruad voting system that was set up by Obama administration and the media. And! How the heck are they going to aunagerate a man that lies everytime he opens his mouth. Swearing in Obama is a big joke! ARE THEY GOING TO VET HIM PROPERLY THIS TIME. I DOUBT IT. THEY ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF CROOKS AND SCARED WIMPS AND SANKES.
No one expected that there would be so many ignorant people to vote him back into office.
You got that right! But also, there was lower turn-out for Romney and that is because of his Romneycare. Also because of the grand “OLD ASS” party. They do NOT have a message for the youth and the one they have is not a positive one of why they should support them rather why they shouldn’t support the left. That has been a losing strategy since the 90′s when Newt played this card perfectly they they lost their way cause the OLD ASS party didn’t like making Congressional elections national.
Basically we have an OLD ASS party to REPLACE! Their message needs to be updated to a new iGOP v.3.0. Via the Tea Party we need a massive ground game to take back our localities; schools, arts, culture and the rest!
WITHOUT THE FRAUD MACHINES AND ILLEGAL VOTES MITT ROMNEY WOULD HAVE WON!!!!!!!!!!!
Suzy2 , Gov. Romney did win the people’s vote . He lost from the Elective College vote . Go to look at what Hussein won . It was only the coasts that he got , and Ohio . And , that’s how you can win the presidency ? The people wanted Gov. Romney . That’s what have to be changed .
Thats correct Suzy2. But remember January isnt here yet. The last I heard our God was still in charge
3 WORDS SUM IT UP, MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD
Yep, you are right. Obama won by massive voter fraud. A lot of people failed to listen to the warnings that obozo stole the 2008 elections and he and the Demonrats stole the 2012 elections. Romney really won, but the Liar-in-Cheat/Killler stole it from him. And there is no politician that has the guts to challenge this, or maybe the courts are complicit with it and won’t do anything about it. I’d say God is our only answer. Why did God allow this when many of us were praying hard?
While I, too, believe there was voter fraud (all but one state that went for Obama DO NOT require voter ID), there is a bigger, more prevalent reason: people voted for the candidate that would give them more stuff. Too many “Americans” do not want to be told “you have to work for a living”. They want to be given free stuff all their lives and in the event they actually have to get a job, they want to be immune from being fired.
How in the world would you account for massive voter fraud in a few swing states in a voter poll? The ones committing the fraud are certainly not likely to give you that information and, from the reports, many of them could not have even understood the question. Additionally, I doubt that the manipulated voting machines were contacted for any input as to how they were programmed to report the vote.
Barone is an authority on election outcomes and analysis but I stick to mine which is that
1. US elections other than apart from the english are polarized in their bassically two party system which creates
A. non intelligent argumentation
B. rather sooner then later political incest in that the financial power elite quickly disguises their influential social interest from the electoral proces of the small people (Big Oil, Big Automobile)
2. Because of this the pivot effect of only 2 to 5 percent of the US popular vote instead of the US electoral vote ultimately being the decisive factor. .. not the 95 to 98 percent but the 2 to 5 percent is relevant.
As it turned out the difference between Obama and Romney was only 2.5 percent !!!
3. The huge mass of undecided voters in relation to voter manipulation through gerrymanderng, voter fraud, negative campaigning etc. rather than intellectual and fair debate.
4. The huge influence of the 5 mass media US news outlets their influence estimated about 85 %.
Only a small fraction of the US voter actually make up their own mind due to the effect mass media and advertissement has on the hard working high labor productive US workers
As in many high developed western countries the US has since the early seventies only 5 major Main Stream Media left – MSMBC, CNN, ABC, CBS en FOX.
Fox is republican and favoured Romney and opposed Obama and the other for favoured Obama and opposed Romney.
5. The huge influence of pollsters and their inductive statiscal method of forecasting electoral outcomes.
The catch is that while pollsters only achieve their manipulative power over the mass of undecided voters and the rather small percentage of what turned out to be 2.5 % is really deciding the winner … can be broadcasted by these MSM and only when a pollster adapts to the political preference of these MSM.
There can be lots said about inductive statisics and its placebo faith effect on people but it should suffice to forbid polling in the last couple of weeks before the election day.
———————
These are the 5 main factors acting all together in favour of the democrats. Romney ran a polite civilized campaign and such can never win … Obama ran an extreme character killing negative campaign and all in US political mechanics worked in his favour
It is true that the ” main media ” favored Hussein , but most people in this country voted for Gov. Romney , well Hussein only took the East and West coasts , and Ohio . With that said , the Democrats wouldn’t take any of the Military , ( most of the troop’s were with Romney ) , by either sending the ballots for them by missing the deadline , or not counting of any body who voted by mail .
This was only the second time that a candidate won the presidency by the Elective College vote . The people got robbed . It’s simply said .
The reason Mitt Romney did NOT win the Office of the Presidency is because he is a flaming liberal who could not defend himself on the issues because his record was as poor, if not more poor, than the sitting President. So if Romney addressed the issues, there was too much dirt in his own closet to defend himself so he had no status in this regard to challenge Obama on the issues. Examples: Mitt Romney “fathered” gay marriage to America. Mitt Romney “fathered” government mandated healthcare to America (which will be Obamacare). Under Mitt Romney’s Healthcare mandates, he signed in to law $50.00 co-pay tax funded abortions as a “healthcare benefit” used to kill babies. Mitt Romney was managing partner in Bain Capital’s “Stericycle” account (Mitt also brought in this account to Bain), which contracted with abortion mills to dispose aborted baby fetuses, arms, legs, heads…you get the picture. I would strongly urge everyone on this blog to get and read the book “CAN MITT ROMNEY SERVE TWO MASTERS?” (http://www.amazon.com/Can-Mitt-Romney-Serve-Masters/dp/1449711995) in order to see just what a bullet we dodged here. And moreover, to learn why he deservedly lost the election to Obama….in which a better candidate who did not have Romney’s liberal record and baggage could have won this election in his/her sleep.
By way of the same corrupted Karl Rove liberal GOP gang who is out of touch with the real republican party (another example is John McCain, who Rove shoved this loser down our throats in 2008), and is sick with his own narcissism and control, we will also lose the 2016 election. Is anyone going do something about this? I’m telling ya’, if the RINO Karl Rove GOP isn’t ousted from the party, we WILL LOSE AGAIN to Hillary Clinton.
CertainlyTruth , perhaps you should look up the facts , instead of listening to who don’t like Gov. Romney . And , Gov. Romney said that ” if I had to do it again , I would change a few thing ” when talking about his healthcare in Mass. . You don’t know what a ” RINO ” is . And , Rove didn’t get behind McCain , until he won the candidate . You sound like a Liberal . And what makes you think there will be a vote in 2016 ? Your Dictator will step down ?
@ CertainlyTruth
You’re way off base. Only repeating rumors, most of what you’ve posted is BS.
Watch this son.

January is not here yet! Dear Lord thank you for hearing our cry
This was no re-election, nor an election. It was an outright fraudulent spoof. Never been so scared in my life. We have a president who has run $1 trillion dollar deficits four years in a row, going on five or more, a man who has virtually bankrupted the country who no one even knows who he is.
We vote to place people of trust into office to protect our interests, individually and collectively. The people we have elected have not acted in our best interests, both democrats and republicans. The man we elected as president is an unknown. We not only not know who he really is but no one has looked our for the best interests of the country to find out who he really is. His record of the past four years along with the hazy discoveries of who he is should have brought forth comprehensive research to find out. This is behond the level of incompetence, approaching treason.
Doesn’t this make you more , when Hussein was caught with his mike was on when he was talking to the Russian last year ? He said that this is his last campaign and when he wins again , I know they have to look to the future , but , how can he already say that , ” when I win again ” ? I can see if he said ” IF I win again ” , but he didn’t say that . He came out and said ” WHEN I win again ” . And , he only won the East and West coasts , ( and Ohio , but , come on ! ) .
The people have been robbed again from a guy who we have nothing we know of him . He acts like he won by a landslide , but he didn’t . He only by the Elective College vote . By 2.5% at that . Do you really think he will tell us what really happened in Libya ? And , remember , he won’t say ” terrorists attack ” for over two whole weeks . And , even when he finally said it , two days later , he was back to the ” video ” . And he haven’t said about ” terrorist attack ” , since . And you people are crying about ” fault votes ” ?
Like I said January hasn’t arrived yet
When there is a 140% vote for bozo in an area, and 100+% in many areas…duh. This is complete bozo math. Still want to take a peak of the college records (don’t exist), ssi #,(dead WHITE man), selective service ???? ( non-citizen).
And what about all the cover ups… so many to list, yet nothing is done! So sad for this country.
No way would Obama have won reelection without massive voter fraud. Without a doubt the US elections are now as ficticious as those in Venezuela, Cuba, or Russia. We have an illegal alien, Marxist/Communist, Muslim in the WH. We are in for much pain and suffering in the next 4 years.
They FAILED to recognize the massive VOTER FRAUD that would be incorporated in the election. One day the Republican Admistration will wake from their rip van winkle snooz.
That one’s easy! Everyone watched Faux News. They live inside the Bubble of non-truth.
My favorite election moment was when Karl Rove was arguing with Faux News about who was going to win Ohio. His previous stunt to change votes didn’t work this time like it did in 04.
There’s some things money just can’t buy…
Is that what it was PhillieG. You’re right money can’t buy God still being in charge. We’ll see. God will have the last say
A few generations ago, if you lost your job you might have been really worried that you wouldn’t be able to provide for your family. You might have even been looked upon as not being a good provider. To avoid that stigma, you were more inclined to seek out other employment opportunities, change your career, even look to your extended family for ideas and possible assistance. Over the past generation or two, it has become increasingly obvious that the “stigma” is not nearly as big of a factor in motivating people to do what was legally within their power to do in order to avoid being stigmatized. I believe that with more households receiving open-ended government assistance, the pain of unemployment has been buffered such that a false sense of well-being or a new normal stifled enough discontent with the current leadership so that they didn’t see a need to rock the nanny state boat. This condition may be in play from now on.
