In campaign, GOP was simply less competent, efficient
One of the key selling points for Mitt Romney as president was his competence. This was a guy who knew how to run things. As a successful business leader, he had demonstrated the ability to transform an organization to make it operate faster, more efficiently and more effectively, and if given the chance he could do the same in government. That argument was extended to the overall Republican “brand’ as well, with the party selling itself as the party of business, run by people in business suits whose skills and work ethic were honed by free-market competition.
And of course, the primary way in which such claims are tested in the political arena is through the operation of a campaign. So it’s been interesting to see a string of post-election stories along the lines of this piece from The Washington Post:
Senior Republican campaign operatives who gathered over beer last week in Alexandria for a post-election briefing were taken aback by what they were told. A nonpartisan research firm presented data showing that President Obama had far outperformed Mitt Romney in managing the largest single expenditure of the campaign: television advertising.
Romney’s spending decisions on advertising look like “campaign malpractice,” said one person who had reviewed the newly circulated data.
Obama and his allies spent less on advertising than Romney and his allies but got far more — in the number of ads broadcast, in visibility in key markets and in targeting critical demographic groups, such as the working class and younger voters in swing states. As the presidential race entered its final, furious phase, for example, millions of college football fans tuning in to televised games saw repeated ads for Obama but relatively few from the Romney campaign.
All told, from June through Election Day, the Obama campaign and its allies aired about 50,000 more ads than Romney and his allies, according to the research firm’s data.
In other words, judged in terms of cost-effectiveness and efficiency — getting the most bang of out an advertising dollar — the Obama camp clearly outperformed the Romney camp. Other stories have documented the Obama campaign’s superior ability to identify its voters and get them to polls.
The Obama-ites also outperformed the Romney camp in its use of technology, as Ars Technica, a site specializing in the IT world, explains in a piece headlined “How Team Obama’s tech efficiency left Romney IT in dust.”
And as Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight has noted, that advantage shouldn’t be surprising. The Obama camp was able to tap the best and the brightest in the IT field because the IT field as a whole was strongly supportive of the incumbent:
“Among employees who work for Google, Mr. Obama received about $720,000 in itemized contributions this year, compared with only $25,000 for Mr. Romney. That means that Mr. Obama collected almost 97 percent of the money between the two major candidates.
Apple employees gave 91 percent of their dollars to Mr. Obama. At eBay, Mr. Obama received 89 percent of the money from employees.
Over all, among the 10 American-based information technology companies on Fortune’s list of “most admired companies,” Mr. Obama raised 83 percent of the funds between the two major party candidates.
Mr. Obama’s popularity among the staff at these companies holds even for those which are not headquartered in California. About 81 percent of contributions at Microsoft, which is headquartered in Redmond, Wash., went to Mr. Obama. So did 77 percent of those at I.B.M., which is based in Armonk, N.Y.”
To summarize, it would appear that in the 2012 presidential campaign a team of lazy, moochin’ Democratic “47 percenters” led by a lowly “community organizer” (insert snicker here) out-smarted, out-worked, out-adapted, out-teched and out-organized the buttoned-down corporate types led by a captain of American industry. In a campaign that in many ways turned into a contest between Old America and New America, New America proved the more fit competitor and dashed some stereotypes along the way.

“If you’re over the age of 10 and still need a definition of decency……chances are, you’re not.
Decency certainly doesn’t have anything to do with torture, assacinating 16 year-old Americans boys (or anybody for that matter), lying, and/or theft by coercion/violence.”
I was asking for YOUR definition of Decency, since YOU used the word. Sounds like you suspect what it is not, but have no idea what it is!

Nevermind the F-A-C-T that there are not 311 million eligible voters in the US. Completely ignore the fact that the census counts A-L-L people living in the US, whether in status or out of status. You have people living here on work visas who can’t vote because of their nationality. You have green card holders who can’t vote because of their nationality. There’s also that 23% of that 311 million that are under the age of 18 as well.

I really hope some of you conservatives can join me in this line of thinking. I’m about as liberal as they come, but I am pretty desperate for an honest evaluation of this loss by the Republican party. Truthfully, I’m just a bit startled by the reaction.
The truth is, you CAN compete for ideas in the “new” hi-tech America. You CAN compete for Black & Latino votes. I’m even willing to go as far as to say that buried underneath all of your crap (and let’s be honest, there has been a lot of it in the last few months) you have some genuine concerns about the Democratic party and their plan.
The point is, nobody will take you seriously until you give up the “sports rivalry” mentality. Think about it, despite logic & what their own eyes & ears tell them, fans of an inferior team (let’s call them, Georgia Tech) are able to convince themselves that they WILL beat a superior team (let’s call them the Georgia Bulldogs. Strictly for the sake of example.) When it doesn’t happen, they’ll think of every reason in the world to blame the loss on rather than admitting their shortcomings.
A real piece of advice — stop making this about Obama. He was victorious, the second term will happen. But guess what, America will continue AFTER he leaves office. Start focusing on that.

Better yet, if that’s what all these fools on this blog think businesses exist for, how come they don’t start a business and employee all these “less fortunate” people they pretend to care about so much? And why aren’t the Democrat owned businesses hiring 5-10 more people than they need to “do their part” for the economy?

Apparently Mitt Romney’s selling point to get the GOP nomination was his competence. After that he was classic “empty suit”. Lon Chaney, man of a thousand faces had nothing on MItt. Even though Romney had been governor of Massachusetts, he either was sleepwalking or just going through the motions of an elected official. I doubt his election as president would have been an improvement. Successful business leader but a mediocre politician and a stiff one at that. Frankly, the Republicans would have been better nominating Max Headroom as their candidate. Max would have been the perfect compliment to Clint Eastwood and his empty chair skit at the Republican convention. At the time I thought Clint was doing a dry run from one of his upcoming movies……. “The Ventriloquist”. Mitt Romney’s voice and likeness would have been perfect for the dummy on Eastwood’s knees.

Good morning, looters. I see that your cheerleader is still the pompous one with chest buttons popping from a close victory. Still in campaign mode because of the WH demands on taxation?
His opening paragraph is a little bit obscured by the fact that the Republican Party and Mr. Romney were at a somewhat disadvantage, based on their core make-up. An analogy of their plight might be compared to the Amish trying to sell liquor or rap songs to the public.
As I have mentioned before to the deaf left, the Santa Claus Party always trumps the Pragmatic Party. The Republican Party does seem to stumble when it comes to message effectiveness without the use of entitlement promises,character assassination,and class warfare. It shall be interesting to see if the Repubs want to dirty their hands and follow the Dems down the low road for votes.
Should they compete for the youth vote that has no firm convictions? Should they compete for the Latino vote who have family ties to illegal immigrants? Should they compete for the non-productive minority vote that are bone fide suckers for entilements? Should they compete for the news-ignorant vote? Should they compete for the 47% vote that has an axe to grind against the “rich”?
Difficult choices for a political party with morals and character. Easy choices for a political party with no morals or character.

RB from Gwinnett concede free stuff is more appealing and as more poeple figure out they can vote themselves plunder from the public treasury, we’ll slide down that same slippery slope Greece, Spain, and others have gone down.
So does “free stuff” only bother you when you imagine it to be by blacks, browns, and scroungers?
Doesn’t bother you when it’s the banks or the massive corporations who avoid paying any taxes who get the free stuff? That doesn’t bother you at all does it?
By the way, RB, if it’s been pointed out once it’s been done a hundred times on these boards that getting “free stuff” had nothing to do with Spain and Greece’s predicament, and at any rate it is highly misleading to lump together those two countries. But obviously you’re not interested in examining pesky facts like that.

Are these the union gangsters you’re referring to? They even stopped long enough from their thuggery for a group photo with a political candidate.

Saw the Barbara Walters Special last night. She interviewed Gov. Christie and Hillary – not at the same time. Good interviews.
Pretty sure Hillary will not run.
Christie looked good. Could be the next president.

Guy I do make some typos on the end of words for some reason, can’t get the hang of typing without spell-check, but thanks for pointing that out to me.
And Guy if it is your own opinion I am all for you. But if it just happens to be someone else’s and the combination is not winning for you, maybe your own opinion would really work better than the one you are using now. Just a thought have a good day old man.

If I were Hillary…I’d run if I had a grandchild by 2014.
I have my priorities.
Oh and congrats to Jenna Bush Hager and the whole family on their happy news.

pat yourself on the back Jay, but it will probably lead to a kick in the pants for the country as a whole after the damage that BHO will cause in the next 4 years.
the results of this election just shows how many simpletons are in the voting electorate and how easily they can be fooled. remember the phrase “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me”. I think alot of people who voted for BHO will fall under this saying, and hopefully they will have the cognition to recognize their mistake

i saw something interesting the other day on Yahoo … that some organization gave Romney the “biggest lie of the year”. That organization should give Obama the “lifetime achievement
for lying” award.. that just based on he would be the most transparent pres, yet he excels at being evasive

RB the promises Romney made was to the rich people and corporations, he needs more millionaires and for corps to vote for him to win.
That is lame BS you are spewing, or should I say repeating as it was not your idea.

You can always tell when the conservative posters didn’t even bother to read their own candidate’s economic plan.

since you like numbers
how about the 6.2 trillion more deficit under BHO
how is that better. how is that even close to what he promise in campaign rhetoric 4 years ago.
you can’t argue those numbers… but i’m sure you will try with whatever fits into your fantasyworld
