Why We Were Surprised on November 6th?

You are all daft. Each candidate had about 45% of the vote sewed up. Of the remaining ten percent, Obama won the majority because the Republican brand is tarnished by wacky extremists. That extremism takes several forms. Some people rejected you because you are fundamentally anti-intellectual and anti-science, some rejected you because you accept so much racism in your ranks, and some rejected you because your talk of limited government is a joke, given the party attitude toward gay Americans, women’s issues, and foreign intervention.

jack, you've been drinking the liberal media kool-aid. Every criticism you level is also true of the democratic party. You can't see it because of your rose colored glasses.

The rational response is to examine your own positions because you lost. WHen your football team loses 28-3 you don't spend time pointing out how badly your opponent played in special teams.

Nothing to worry about Jack. Obama has the trash vote sewed up. The typical Obama voter is the Obamaphone woman. How is your Obamaphine by the way?

I am actually looking toward a pretty good year next year, especially if th grownups in teh Republican Party realize their obstructionism was case sacraficing the good on the altar of the perfect. The instant teh parties reach a real deal on fiscal matters the economy is going to expand significantly.

This is what's wrong with Republicans. You see 50% of the people as the "trash vote."

Remember, Obama won 69% of the Jewish vote. And also won a larger percentage of people with college degrees.

TX Gal,

Conservatives on TH do not pay attention to anything remotely resembling a fact of information. They lost Asians by 40% They lost Blacks by 88% They lost Hispanics by 40%. But tell them they need to appeal more to those groups to win an election and they deny its necessary.

They live in a dream world. The bubble is actuall far thicker than anything we could ahve imagined.

They already have the party of freebies. All those groups are largely people who think this country owes them something.

Obama cares as much about you as he did for the Americans killed in Libya. You are useful idiots.

Curious, do you work for govt or a union? You seem to have lots of spare time every day to post your drivel.

As if the Democrat Brand is sparkling clean? When the bus is heading over the cliff, when does women issues, gay rights, globull warming, et al suddenly become so important? So women have the rigth to abort a life within them... is that more important than becoming Greece or Russia in the '20 and '30s? So gay faggs can marry... whooptiedoo. Is that more important starving because food prices are outta sight because gas prices are outta sight? Is everything more important than our government spending money we don't have?

Your foolishness is just part of the problem. Instead of turning your gaze inward, you immediately respond with a childhood dodge...."wahhhh you are just as bad...waaaahhh". The reality is that those positions have been a key part fo the rhetoric for BOTH sides, and democrat ideas appealed to more voters than the conservative positions.

Birdman III: Neither party is sparkling clean but the Republican party has hit a new low. The only time Romney tied Obama in the polls was when he moved to the center. Your party is the one that focuses on abortion, gays, and immigration while they claim to focus on economics. And (1) pregnant women are a lot more capable of making a decision about abortion than the government (2) the government shouldn't say who has the right to marry; (3) gas prices are not controlled by the president but set on the WORLD market; and (4) I don't remember Republican outrage when Bush was running up a 5 trillion deficit- because there wasn't any! Jack2894 is spot on and you just helped his point.

Ok, I was wrong. I thought the Republicans would win the Presidency. I was not the only one. Smart people like Michael Barone and Karl Rove thought so also, in addition to people like Dick Morris. A knowledgeable friend called me the Saturday before the election and told me John McLaughlin, the pollster, just told him Romney wins it going away. So what happened?

First there is the big picture. I think there were three issues that hurt the Romney campaign along the way. The first is his turn to the right to win the primaries. My now politically-astute son asserted...
