Romney has nothing going for him other than the Obama hate machine of republicans, racists, teabaggers, 1%'ers etc.

IT is on Obama/Democratic party to rally up support and get people to vote for them and not just because the other guy is going to be so much worse.

So close enough to steal? Absolutely, if the democratic party keeps on as they are which is failing to rally up support through poor policy that doesn't inspire any enthusiasm and terrible messaging about what they have actually done right/good.

It is one thing to fail to do things and appear weak, fine that is done/over, but to not fight back in telling the truth as so many democratic politicians/pundits/etc continually do is another and that can lead to a poor turnout.
