Billy and Franklin Graham both endorsed Romney. So did Richard Land. I think it'd be hard to find any evangelical leader who didn't endorse him given Obama's pro-abortion and pro-SSM positions.

I think Romney's problem is he didn't appeal strongly to anyone. His problem was overall weak turnout for him. Nationwide. Romney got fewer votes than McCain (2.6M fewer votes - 57.3M vs McCain's 59.9M). McCain's vote was nothing to write home about, he got 2.1M fewer votes than Bush in 2004 (59.9M vs 62M). ------------------------------------------------------ Popular vote numbers 2004: Bush 62M Kerry 59M 2008: McCain 59.9M Obama 69.5M 2012: Romney 57.3M Obama 59.9M probably prelim. Obama's 69.5M votes was a big thing in 2008. And he lost most of his big surge in votes .... but Romney enjoyed no surge for him. Mr. Electable's turnout was lousy! If we'd had a candidate with Bush's or McCain's appeal to voters we'd have won.
