I blame the Republicans for having such a lame campaign.

i blame the government for holding an election and abiding by the will of the people

No need to. The extent to which the Repugs go about courting the evangelicals makes it completely unnecessary.

I'd blame the evangelicals for voting for a Mormon that they could not elect.

And less Mormons voted for Romney than for McCain.

Think about this... McCain had his choice of Romney... or Palin... and he ran with palin

Really? I thought that they were 100% lock-step.

You prefer dictatorships?

Where did I imply anything of the sort? Oh, right... i didn't.

I was being ironic.

I blame single women

(lol obviously being sarcastic here - I just find this link ridiculous in its awesome logic - single women don't think about their future obviously)

I remember reading somewhere that the majority of women skew towards Democrat in general.

I blame Republican self-delusion. They had convinced themselves Obama couldn't possibly win - so much so, they denied the legitimacy of the polls as they repeated the mantra that the pollsters were partisan. That, and they were certain their schemes of voter suppression would work - when it in fact boomeranged in their faces.

I didnt think that Mormons were automatons, but it still surprises me that fewer would vote for Romney than for McCain. Surprising ofcourse because Romney is the Mormon, and McCain isnt and other than that the two are broadly similiar politically.. So why did Mormon voters desert their own guy?

Just look at the gallup poll in the link provided by the OP.
Theres a rather dramatic mirror image in gender preferences: about 53 percent of each gender voted one way - and 43 percent voted the other way- with men voting republican and women democrat ( I guess around four percent of each were undecided).

I blame a two-party system that keep two fallacious ideologies in power, and a media that convinces people that no other system is possible.

The Dems haven't screwed up the country enough yet for voters to be angry enough to hand power back to the Repubs. That day will come, and when it does the Repubs will provide their own unique brand of running the nation into the ground until voters get PO'd enough to hand power back to the Dems.

Rinse and repeat.

Neither side has to be accountable for anything, because they just have to wait long enough for the other side to screw things up sufficiently. Then the blame-game resumes and they're back in power.
