Romney's Biggest Mistake

[RINO Tom]

Being too hardline on immigration.  If he wins a higher suburban vote from social moderates and/or a larger share of the Hispanic vote (emphasize Obama's hypocrisy in regard to deportations), he wins the election, swinging Florida, Virginia, Colorado and Ohio (yes, a Republican can VERY, VERY easily win Ohio without picking up White Democrats who hate free trade, LOL).  He probably even tacks on Pennsylvania with enough of a swing in the Philly and Pittsburgh suburbs.  Iowa likely falls in line, too, as it is not nearly as rural or socially conservative as this site thinks (lives in Iowa).

Two words: 47%

The types of people Romney SHOULD have been winning more of would not have been offended by such a true quote.

He suggested that anyone on any kind of government support supported Obama, which is perhaps the falsest statement to come from any modern presidential nominee.

That part was definitely false.  I was more thinking of the fact that 47% of the country does, in fact, benefit from a more socialized economy, increased government control, etc., and - whether those people were solidly for Obama as one might naturally expect or solidly for Romney for social/cultural/whatever reasons - they were not the voters he needed to spend his time speaking to, quite frankly, because they weren't going to be convinced either way.  And that's true.
