Mitt Romney's disastrous ground game and 7 other behind-the-scenes revelations

1. Romney was shellshocked by Obama's victory

Romney genuinely believed that he would become the nation's 45th president, and was "shellshocked" by his landslide loss. "I don't think there was one person who saw this coming," one senior adviser told Jan Crawford at CBS News. Why was Team Romney so certain of victory? They simply did not believe that younger voters and minorities would turn out the way they did in 2008. "As a result," says Crawford, "they believed that the public/media polls were skewed" in Obama's favor, and rejiggered them to show Romney with "turnout levels more favorable to Romney." In essence, Romney "unskewed" the polls, mirroring widely mocked moves by conservatives to show their candidate with a lead, epitomized by the now-infamous website UnskewedPolls.com. Romney's defenders say he had plausible reasons to believe Obama's turnout would be lower; less charitable commentators say Romney and his aides were stuck in a conservative media echo chamber at odds with reality.

7. Ann Romney cried when Obama won

When it was all over on Election Night, the GOP nominee called Obama to concede defeat. "Romney was stoic as he talked to the president," says CBS News' Crawford, "but his wife Ann cried." His running mate Paul Ryan "seemed genuinely shocked," while "Ryan's wife Janna also was shaken and cried softly."

8. Romney had purchased victory fireworks

"Things didn't go as planned for Mitt Romney on Election Day in more ways than one," says Glen Johnson at The Boston Globe. "The Republican was prepared to celebrate his election as the 45th president with an eight-minute fireworks display within view of his party at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center." The Romney campaign reportedly paid $25,000 for fireworks that "had a patriotic theme, heavy on red, white, and blue colors."

Obama to win Florida, CNN projects, sweeping all battlegrounds

President Barack Obama will narrowly win the presidential vote in Florida, CNN projected, based on updated vote totals provided by the counties to the state by Saturday’s noon deadline.

Obama won the state with 50.01% of the vote compared with 49.13% for GOP nominee Mitt Romney, according to those numbers. The incumbent's margin of victory was just shy of 74,000 votes.

With the Sunshine State's results in – the last undecided state - CNN projects Obama's electoral vote total comes to 332, well above the 270 required to win the presidency. CNN projects Romney to finish with 206 electoral votes.

[...]

Obama outspent Romney in television advertising in the state, according to CNN consultant Kantar Media/CMAG, although Romney visited the state more. Obama spent $69.5 million on ads in Florida to Romney's $42 million. Romney made 33 visits to the state, compared to Obama's 24.

Woman Calls Obama The N-Word And Hopes He Gets Assassinated

139053.jpg

In today's computer age, all threats must be taken seriously. A 22-year-old California woman named Denise Helms is learning that first-hand after she posted a threatening Facebook status about Barack Obama following his re-election. The status ended up going viral, causing immense blowback from the community and even catching the attention of the Secret Service.

"Another 4 years of this [n-word]," read Helms post. "Maybe he will get assassinated this term."

Local Sacramento news station caught up with an unapologetic Helms on Wednesday and got a statement from her. "I didn't think it would be that big of a deal," said Helms. "The assassination part is kind of harsh. I'm not saying like I would go do that or anything like that, by any means, but if it was to happen, I don't think I'd care one bit."

Helms was fired from her job at Cold Stone Creamery for the incident, and even solicited a response from the store director Chris Kegle. "We found her comments to be very disgusting," said Kegle. "We made the decision to fire her because of her comments, but also the community feedback."

If Secret Service deems it a credible threat, Helms could end up facing felony charges for threatening to inflict bodily harm on the President.
