The simplest answer has already been said - Democrats had a great turnout. However, for the vast majority of our modern political history (post-New Deal, as the New Deal Era fundamentally defined modern conservatism and liberalism), there have just simply been more Democrats than there have been Republicans. Throughout the Twentieth Century and into the Twenty-First, Democratic candidates regularly lose more of their own voters than Republicans lose of theirs, per exit polls. This numbers difference can be seen in the fact that Romney won "Independents," but he lost "Moderates" - two things the media tends to use as synonyms, when in actuality they are not.
