One fair explanation of last night from a GOP Blog: No, really. Good read.

Status Quo Ante By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | November 7th, 2012 at 01:15 AM

Like when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, we now know what happens when a candidate so weak anybody can beat him meets a candidate so weak he cannot beat anybody. Americans vote for the status quo. $6 billion later, Americans voted for the status quo. Karl Rove, call your donors.

Barack Obama won because his campaign team ran a tremendous ass kicking ground game while the Romney campaign clearly ran smoke and mirrors so convincingly inside the echo chamber of the GOP as to fool a lot of great Republican pundits and Dick Morris.
But Barack Obama also won because the public knew him and stacked him up to a nothing burger on the other side. That nothing burger was not, per se, Mitt Romney, but the GOP as a whole. Consider, if you will, the GOP’s Senate nominees, many, but not all, of whom were backed by the party establishment.

3. In the article

the author states that America isn't leaning more left but voted on the basis that Romney wouldn't go far enough to the right. What a load of bullshit. Keep thinking that way and we will keep winning elections. In the comments someone blames public schools for their liberal teaching. STFU about public schools. Religion should be taught at home. Schools teach academics not religion nor politics. Sick of that argument.
