Why did Romney Lose Florida?

It all comes back to his polling data being wrong ala Dewey 1948. When Dewey thought he was ahead and someone begged him to change strategies he said, "when you are a head, don't talk" or something to that effect. Romney thought he had in the bag and didn't do enough to mitigate the effects of Ryan, Self-deportation and other self-imposed problems.

He also let Obama dominate the airwaves over the summer and wittle down the rather good numbers Romney had around the time of the primary on several key issues surrounding his candidacy like Bain Capital and so forth.

Its possible that Florida therefore would be affected by the same thing that hurt him in Ohio. That of falling short amongst lower income voters across the board.
