Norquist: Obama won by casting Romney as 'poopy head'

Aamer Madhani, USA TODAY | USATODAY

Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist offered an interesting explanation for why President Obama was able to beat Mitt Romney.

"The president was committed; elected on the basis that he was not Romney and Romney was a poopy head and you should vote against Romney and he won by two points," Norquist said on CBS' This Morning Monday. "But he didn't make the case that we should have higher taxes and higher spending, he kind of sounded like the opposite."

This Morning co-host Norah O'Donnell questioned the veracity of Norquist's claim.

"Well, I'm not sure that's what the president called Mitt Romney, Grover," she said. "That's not the debate that was had ... he said very clearly throughout the debate that the wealthiest Americans should pay more and he won eight of the nine battleground states and Republicans failed to reclaim the White House or the Senate."
