Who should have easily won but ended up blowing it?

[Hope For A New Era]

Al Gore didn't choke, he was robbed. Kerry had the most difficult circumstance but still came close. Therefore it has to be Romney.



The real answer here though is obviously Hillary Clinton. Even after running a terrible campaign and becoming if anything even more unpopular with the American public than she already had been, she still won the popular vote, with only a few thousand votes in three states separating her from the electoral vote. She literally had the easiest opponent since McGovern. Imagine if she had been even slightly less horrible?
