Nov 2012

but the article makes it seems like that was the only reason Mitt the Twit lost.
He lost because:
1. Obama and the Obama campaign
2. the Republican platform - ditch Medicare/Medicaid, immigration etc
3. The lies caught up with him
4. good ads that defined Mitt early - I put this in 4th place.
5. Mitt is just kind of creepy
