2012 Presidential Election Thread

Just imagine if Romney's camp would have won all 4 debates. (lol)

There's a lot of reasons Romney lost that had nothing to do with the Hurricane.

it's very difficult for me to understand how people can say the storm had no effect on voting.

I think it's the simple fear of "Give an inch, take a mile". The second an important Democrat says "Well, I'm sure the Hurricane had some effect on voting and the way some Republicans perceived the President", some Republican media source will most certainly turn that into "The only reason Obama won was because of a timely hurricane."

Looking at the chart below, it correlates almost to the day that political fortunes switched.

While that's true, it could also just be simple coincidence of "The election is getting nearer, so people are making more concrete choices."
