That resounding tribute to the MASSIVE, CRUSHING get out the vote effort that grassroots Democratic volunteers accomplished, came from a sourse inside the stunned Romney Campaign.

Romneyworld reckoning begins

“They ran a 20th century campaign in the 21st century,” said one Romney bundler, frustrated that the campaign made assumptions about the youth vote and voter intensity that didn’t pan out.
In starker terms, the source questioned: “Was last week a head fake, or were they just not that smart?”
Multiple Romney sources buzzed about one number in particular: 15 percent. According to exit polls, that’s the share of African-Americans who voted in Ohio this year. In 2008, the black percentage of the electorate was 11 percent. In Virginia and Florida, exit polls showed the same share of African-Americans turned out as four years ago, something that GOP turnout models did not anticipate.
“We didn’t think they’d turn out more of their base vote than they did in 2008, but they smoked us,” said one Romney operative. “It’s unbelievable that that they turned out more from the African-American community than in 2008. Somehow they got ‘em to vote.”
This victory belongs to the Democratic Party's Grassroots. People making contact with other people on a one to one basis. With all their Super PACs and millions of dollars, the Republican Party could only look on with envy.
They have nothing to match YOU PEOPLE!
You!
YOU ROCKED THE POLITICAL WORLD!
This country owes you all a great debt.
