Passivity Lost This Election

As it turns out the biggest loser in this election was President Obama!  He received nearly 10 million fewer votes in 2012 than he did in 2008!   That being said, Governor Romney received nearly 3 million fewer votes than McCain did in 2008.  The startling fact is that if Romney had all of McCain's votes - he would have won, at least in the popular vote (maybe not in electoral votes, they're still trying to figure that part out).  Romney COULD have won this - IF the Republicans who supported McCain had supported Romney the same way.  It was ultimately those who stayed home who passively decided this election.  Sad, but true.
