The big head scratcher of the election.

A Republican that is pro-life and anti gay-marriage can still win the White House. However, someone that was born with a silver spoon, wants immigration reform, and loves big business will never win the White House again in the near future.

Romney did not lose the woman vote that badly, when all things are considered. Remember that something life 60% of the Democratic voters are female, it would be hard for them to lose the overall female vote. Romney's dad was born in Mexico. Mitt should have been able to close the gap on the hispanic vote, dare I say possibly win the hispanic vote. However, his stance on immigration was even more Republican than George W's was. That lost him this race, as well as his terrible campaign strategy AND the gruesome primary races in 2008 and 2012. Republicans need to find ways to shrink the candidate list and end the primaries much more quickly before they are ruined.
Tell that to the large number of women that went for Obama. But, yes you are right on the other two things. Exit polls were giving immigration, and rich tax breaks as majors reasons, also.
