I hear this a lot, usually from social conservatives trying to salvage their seat in the Big Tent after costing the party the Presidency in what should have been a slam-dunk election. It doesn't make any sense. Obama has governed as a centrist, not the wild-eyed leftist that he's been portayed as. People who voted Republican in this election did so because they shared the personal goal of getting rid of Obama by any means necessary.

More conservatism in Romney's platform could not possibly have helped.
