The story behind Mitt Romney’s loss in the presidential campaign to President Obama - Nation - The Boston Globe


For watchers of the political process like myself this is fascinating.  With only a couple of exceptions the Obama team performed flawlessly throughout the campaign.  The were successful at defining Romney early on and forced him to defend his qualities throughout the primaries.  Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are to be greatly thanked and also their billionaire supporters who kept them alive.  After the first debate was the only time that Obama seemed vulnerable and it took about three weeks to recover from that but the Obama team kept on track and finished with a strong push.  This article reveals the value of community organizing in an astonishing rebuke to those who made light of the President's community organizing experience.

If you are a political watcher this is an article to pique your interest.
