One of Nebraska's electoral votes is within 530 votes of going to Obama.
Republicans lost in VA, they will lose NC, MO may go either way, they lost Indiana, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico, they lost Iowa, NH, Ohio, PA and Florida. Now they may even lose one of Nebraska's electoral votes. How do you patch this mess up if you are a Republican? The South, Midwest and West are turning on you, and fast.

There is a simple solution for the Repubs, but they're not willing to do it:
Quit trying to find something in common with the left to attract more voters. Reagan conservatism was successful because it laid out exactly what it stood for and allowed folks to decide for themselves if they wanted to be a part of it and it worked.

How is the map from yesterday significantly different from 1992 or 1996? Don't read more into it beyond it being a comfortable victory for Obama. Clinton beat Dole by a more comfortable margin.
The worst financial crisis in decades culminated at a perfect time for Obama (mid September). George W. Bush has been a colossal failure in many respects and he's loathed by a ton of conservatives. This is more of an indictment of George W. Bush than an endorsement of core Democratic ideas. The conservative movement and GOP will regroup and be just fine. Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi will make the case quite effectively for a GOP comeback in 2010. |

You are apparently a presidential campaign neophyte.

lol! I don't think I have ever seen, let alone within one day of the end of a campaign, the supporters of a presidential candidate so quickly turn on the VP candidate. Today, we have learned that Palin didn't know what Africa was (she thought it was a country), that she threw tantrums so severe she had her own staff in tears on a near daily basis, that the VP spent over $20000 on clothes for her husband, or that the VP couldn't name all of the countries in North America (all this according to Carl Cameron on Fox News!).
I love Palin. |
