Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan assess why Obama won

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan mat not be over his loss to the Obama Administration. They are still voicing their thoughts as to why they believe they loss. Hip Hop Wired reports:

At long last, Mitt Romney has figured out why he isn't president. Addressing his top donors via telephone Wednesday (Nov. 13), the Republican former governor blamed the defeat on the president being “very generous” to minorities and young voters.

Standing on the pillars of lowering student loan interest rates, student health care, and other enticing issues, Romney theorized that President Obama had the election effectively sewn up, before the votes actually came in. “The president's campaign focused on giving targeted groups a big gift—so he made a big effort on small things. Those small things, by the way, add up to trillions of dollars.”

Romney went on to state that he's “very sorry” that his bid for president was denied. “I know that you expected to win,” he told the donors. “We expected to win….It was very close, but close doesn't count in this business.”

According to campaign finance chairman Spender Zwick, Romney raised a whopping $900 million to run for the nation's top office, and plans to keep his supporters informed by releasing a monthly newsletter.
While Obama was named the election's winner once he surpassed the needed 270 electoral votes, Romney grabbed “47 percent” of the popular vote.

....

One week after he and Mitt Romney lost the presidential election, Paul Ryan has figured out what led to the defeat. President Obama was named the winner after passing the 270 electoral votes needed to become commander in chief, but Ryan sees the popular vote as the real election surprise.“I think the surprise was some of the turnout, especially in urban areas, which gave President Obama the big margin to win this race,” he told Wisconsin new station, WISC-TV.

“There's always an Electoral College strategy to winning these things, and you know what states you need to win to get to 270 electoral votes. When we watched Virginia and Ohio coming in, those as tight as they were, and looking like we were going to lose them, that's when it became clear we weren't going to win.”
Ryan's reflection differentiates him from Karl Rove, who stood his ground in believing that the nominees didn't lose Ohio until the bitter end. Still, losing— especially his home state of Wisconsin— was no walk in the park. “Mitt didn't pick me for a certain state, he picked me for issues, for governing for debt crisis. We had hoped to win Wisconsin, fought hard for Wisconsin. We cut the president lead in half, but nevertheless, it wasn't enough.”

As pointed out by TheGrio, Ryan has recycled the “urban voters” adage which he used during an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, noting that the president “should get credit for achieving record-breaking turnout numbers from urban areas, for the most part.”
