Why Romney Really Lost by Gary De
Mar
Romney should have picked up Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and Wisconsin. If you take a look at a county-by-county map, you’ll notice that
Obama won the large cities and the college towns. Cuyahoga
County, where Cleveland is located, voted 69% for Obama. Athens County, the
home of Ohio University, voted 66% for Obama.
A similar demographic can be seen in
Pennsylvania where the Philadelphia counties, Allegheny County (Pittsburgh),
and Dauphin County (Harrisburg) went for Obama. The rest of the state is red.
The big cities and college towns
are using the rest of the state as their personal government bank. They tax the
red portions to keep the blue portions in power.
Obamacare might be despised by a majority of
Americans, but it’s not enough to overcome the big-government cities and
college towns.
Again, it’s hard to run against free money.
The media certainly didn’t help. No matter what
Obama did or didn’t do, they covered for him. The Fourth Estate has sold its
soul. Brent Bozell of
Newsbusters writes: “Throughout the very long presidential
election cycle, two trends remained consistent. The media lauded Obama no
matter how horrendous his record, and they savaged Obama’s Republican
contenders as ridiculous pretenders.”
How the GOP establishment spins the election
will be interesting to watch.
