Reasons Romney Lost include:

weakness on the social issues, such as abortion and same-sex marriage
fell for neoconservative claptrap to support foreign interventionalism, causing Romney to lose the last two debates
misguided strategy to focus on only the economy
ostracized Ron Paul and his millions of supporters
spent six years running for president, yet never attempted to learn conservative language and principles^[1]
never emphasized the need to improve public schools, as George W. Bush did successfully in 2000
spent his campaign money on high-priced but ineffective consultants
failed to run effective political ads against Obama
badly out-of-touch with the common man, and made no real attempt to connect
his expensive "Orca" election day "get out the vote" technology failed
no meaningful outreach to young people
overplayed the "family man" stuff to the point of irritation about his lack of concern for other people less fortunate
surrounded himself by RINOs
unnecessarily lashed out at Todd Akin in a way that cost him pro-life volunteers and convinced millions that Romney would be a puppet for the media
clueless about the Democrat early voting machine that resulted in more than a million early votes by mail for Obama in Ohio, and could have elected Mickey Mouse

(please improve or add to the list)

↑ Instead, Romney would make insincere gaffes like claiming to be "severely conservative."
