Obama's grand plan to win the election.

Voter turnout was way down this election, Republicans alone were down by three million. Surely moderates were down as well.

Why do you think that is ?

I submit that it was an Obama campaign grand scheme. He could not win on his record, he could not win on the economy, he could not win among thinking people.

So what he did was turn the election from issues to personality with one ugly twist.

First he gave handouts to all the lefty fringe groups to lock them in. Gays in the military and gay marriage to the GLBT community. He worked against immigration reform and stemming the tide of illegal immigration for the Hispanics. He gave free birth control and promised to work for funding free abortion on demand for single women and feminists. He tossed a few crumbs to the black community, but they supported him at 90% + anyway.

Once he locked up his base he decided to turn the election into a smear campaign against Romney, Bain, and Republicans in general.  They trumpeted the phony Republican "War on Women", demonized Wall Street and the wealthy. 

They hammered Romney on his tax returns which were obviously legal or the IRS would have been on his ass. They claimed that he shipped jobs overseas, when many of his companies created thousands of jobs here. They claimed that he had most of his money offshore, but never offered a bit of proof.

Republicans tried in vain to counter some of these false charges, and the result was an election so divisive and so ugly that many moderates, and even many Republicans stayed home.

Obama shored up his base and then worked to turn moderates against the entire election.

Brilliant plan, in an evil manipulative sort of manner, which are the words that come to my mind about Obama.
