D'Oh! Team Mittens shot itself in the foot; lost due to self-inflicted wound.
"Before the election, there was much fear-mongering on the Democratic side about the Republicans’ supposed plans to suppress turnout among Obama voters. After the election, GOP strategist Karl Rove accused the Obama campaign of “suppressing the vote” by running a negative campaign against Romney that kept voters at home.
The truth is much worse. There was, in fact, massive suppression of the Republican vote--by the Romney campaign, through the diversion of nearly 40,000 volunteers to a failing computer program."

What you are witnessing in this story is the base rationalizing the reason for Mitt Romney's loss. Expect to see many, many more articles criticizing poor ol' Mitt from the right.

Yep. Seemed to be working fine to me. We had a ton of calls and people at the door 3 or 4 times.
Easier to just use the old 'the system's down' excuse than to talk about larger issues.
