7. 30 reasons why Obama won............

That article linked in the OP deserves a careful read.
It is basicly a primer on how to be a better dishonest used car salesmen.

3. The House GOP Should Have Used The September Continuing Resolution To Frame The Election. The House Republicans, without help from anyone, could have refused to pass a continuing resolution for October 1 through March 31, unless it barred funds from being used to hire IRS agents to investigate, prosecute, and incarcerate people who filed to pay their ObamaCare premiums/fines. Had that been the case, all of October would have been spent debating Obama’s threat to shut down the government for the sole purpose of preserving the mandate.

The 30 reasons why we lost is not because snake oil is garbage. We lost because we weren't good snake oil salesmen.
