What research did they rely on? What are the sources of their opinions......because this isn't factual nor is it journalism. This is someone's opinion and I can assure you that it is mostly ill informed. You like this article because it reinforces your own prejudiced view of a certain demographic. I am betting this came from HuffnPuff post, daily kos, pmsnBS or one of the other left wing outlets. But please provide the source, who is the author, what did they base this on, etc. Let us make our own judgment about the validity of this opinion piece because there is no reason to believe it is either true or accurate.

I can assure you that many conservatives didn't think Obama would be reelected because he was an abysmal failure both domestically and internationally, that his signature legislative achievement (Obamacare) was and still remains wildly unpopular, that he created trillion dollar deficits and spent hundreds of billions on pork filled stimulus to no good effect, that a large majority of Americans believed and continue to believe that the country was on the wrong track, that our best days were behind us and that the next generation for the first time ever will be worse off, etc., etc. etc.There were copious very valid and legitimate reasons to believe that Obama would not be reelected that unlike the gross misharacterization by this mystery guaranteed to be liberal author were neither ill-informed nor a result of some presumed insular perspective. Considering all these circumstances it doesnt exactly take a rocket scientist liberal to think it was going to be a close election and truly the only wonder is why anyone on the left is not surprised and shocked that he won, not the other way around.

And it is entirely legitimate to presume that one reason is people voted for what they assumed would be free stuff paid for by the so-called rich. Well, just look at the comments on democratundergound as all these leftists are suddenly expressing shock and dismay that their paychecks have gotten smaller. They actually believed the tripe fed them by Obama and the govt media and now it is too late. Elections have consequences and yes, you can bet I am going to tell them I told you so in 2012. This is especially true for the youth vote that will one day in their middle age find themselves wondering why their middle class tax rates are over 50% while the govt is telling them the benefits their parents enjoyed that they voted for will not be there for them. I only hope I am still around to remind them that they voted for it and us insula, white guys warned them but they were just too smart to listen to us.

You can spread the manure that you think smells good, but it is still manure.
