To the Editor:

So what happened? According to Dick Morris, Karl Rove and other Republican media figures, Mitt Romney would win, and win in convincing fashion. In fact, some predicted a landslide win.

Apparently, the American people had a different view of the candidates and soundly rejected Romney. It was such a resounding victory for the president that Rep. Paul Ryan could not even help Romney win Wisconsin. The Republican candidate had everything going for him: a struggling economy, high unemployment, the unpopular Affordable Care Act, and the fact that the voter enthusiasm that the president had in 2008 was missing in 2012.
