History dummy, it's honestly the last impression he leaves the country because people rarely ever give a damn about them afterwards. We never heard of Al Gore, John Kerry or John McCain ever again? I disagree.

He went 49/50 last time. It looks like 50/50 this time. To be fair a better score would be something around 46. Giving Obama a 50.3% chance of winning Florida should be worth 0.503 points, not 1. Of course his opponents wouldn't have given him that slack so I understand the sentiment. The reason he gave FL a 50.3% is because it's very very close. And it is. It adds, not detracts, to the correctness of his prediction. But he didn't say he would get 50% of the vote and win by a small margin. He said there's a 50.3% chance he would win. I.e it's pretty much a tossup and he doesn't have a strong opinion either way. The correct reading is that he actually didn't predict a winner for Florida. Of course the data just didn't allow a more confident prediction. But given the same amount of data a more confident prediction is more impressive than a less confident one (as long as it's actually turn out to be right). Both the vote share and probability of winning were close.
Vote share:
Running one last projection based on this AM's polls. Our projected margin in Florida now Obama 49.797, Romney 49.775.
Source: I agree if it said that it was 95% it will be Obama 49.797, Romney 49.775, then it would be more impressive. But my point is that it was predicted to be very very close.

So, relatively liberal Republican has hard time winning vs Democrat? Next time around, they might try more tea party style candidate? Romney wasn't liberal on social issues. Extremists in his party also tainted him by association. Reps only hope is to be more moderate next go-around.
Or as CNN mentionned, don't have 20 primary debates which can destroy your candidate since he had to take a more stern conservative voice, then go to the middle. That's just painted him a target.

Huntsman and Paul types have more trouble in the nomination process than the actual election process.
The republican establishment is very hard to beat. They wanted Romney in, and bent over backwards to keep Paul uninvolved, even changing the rules at the last second to prevent him from being granted the delegates he won from 5 states by making the requirement for nomination be 7 states.

He's moderate enough to take voters from Obama, and Romneys voters would vote for Huntsman if he was the only choice against Obama. He trailed Colbert because he's too moderate.
Tim Pawlenty probably also would have won had he not gotten out of the race so early. Though there was no real way to predict that peopel would change there minds so many times on who they would vote for in that primary.
