The right was very motivated to show up at the polls to oust Obama, the left wasn't as motivated and he still won by a very large margin.

As with all elections, it comes down to the swing states. Romney didn't inspire the base, and they stayed home. He got 81k fewer votes in Ohio than even McCain did.

Add the 64 electoral college votes from this switch of 333,908 votes in these four key states to Romney?s 206, remove them from Obama?s 332, and Romney defeats Obama 270 to 268.
