Mitt completely alienated "genuine conservative" Governor Sarah Palin who DOMINATES our party enthusiasm for the last 4 years and we watched a 50% drop in crowds & viewers without her. That mistake also cost him 4 million Evangelicals because they ADORE Governor Palin.
So you are saying that 4M evangelicals did not vote for Romney because he snubbed Palin!? Where are you getting this?
If you look at it, Palin is a political powerhouse. She proved it during the 2010 midterm elections by helping get her many conservative endorsements elected and basically helped take back the House for the republican party. President Clinton saw the writing on the wall a few weeks before the elections and went on national TV and warned democrat candidates and their supporters to "Don't underestimate this woman. She is resilient like me.". He was right. If you look at the facts, Palin has millions upon millions of supporters. When Romney didn't invite her to speak at the convention, it angered many millions. In fact during the primaries, Sarah Palin was drawing massive crowds at her speeches that dwarfed what the other candidates were drawing in, especially Mitt Romney. These are facts that can't be ignored. Romney indeed needed Palins conservative support but he blew it and therefore it cost him the election.
It couldn't have hurt. Moderates and liberals hate Sarah Palin but they voted for Obama anyways. Romney lost because of lack of enthusiasm from the GOP base. 3 million fewer Republicans voted this year than in 2008, and 2008 was a soft year for Republicans as it is. If we would have had the same Republican turnout in 2012 as 2008, Romney would have won.
Her multi millions of supporters would have made them victorious. You can't deny that she doesn't have multi millions of supporters in this country.
Yes, I can!
