"Decadence is good for Democrats, and the evidence that Obama’s victories provide is that we are decadent."
Pretty much sums up tonight's results, IMO.

Layoffs across the country start today as well. Remember Obummer asked employers to hold off until after the election.

The reckoning is coming and more quickly than most can imagine.

“...Hispanic cultural values align well with those of the GOP.”

REALLY? Hispanic women have higher rates of both abortion and out-of-wedlock pregnancies than white women.
Hispanics have higher support of gay marriage than whites.
Hispanics support gun control at higher rates than whites.
Hispanics support Obamacare at higher rates than white.
Hispanics, in general, support Big Government and have higher rates of welfare dependency than whites.
So if it’s true that Hispanic and GOP values are similar, then what sorts of values does the GOP have?

“Obama’s team turned out his vote everywhere he needed it, and he won. Republicans will fight about whether a more vocally conservative candidate could have won or whether Romney could have provided a sharper contrast with Obama, but organizational superiority may have had more than anything else to do with this result. Republicans will have to study that ground game and find a way to beat it just as the football world had to study and defeat the flex defense. That’s not a job for ideologues, but for tacticians who understand ideology and communication. “

One thing I learned is that large campaign rallies mean nothing since attendees will vote for you anyway. Obama worked on getting the lazy slacker vote, the American Idol and Leno vote, with early voting and other methods.

Excellent post. Our country is so divided . Liberalism is truly a mental disorder that is destroying America.

I have finally come to the bitter realization that America is dead.

Lots of people will be loosing their jobs in the next couple of weeks. Many employers have been holding on by their finger nails, waiting, hoping for a favorable election. Let the cuts begin.

>>”They will have to move aggressively to capture more of the growing Hispanic vote”

OR could get more aggressive about getting the non-ethnic (can’t say w***e on FR) suburban vote that is going to find their tax dollars being shifted out of their communities at an accelerated rate.

The most immediate lesson that can be learned from this is that the Obama-Axelrod ground game is very very very good.

We got our asses kicked by a community organizer. Unfortunately for us, he's damned good at it.

A bit pessimistic. I am still hopeful that GOP will hold firm and let the country fall off the fiscal cliff. Everyone will share the pain and realize that there is no free lunch. Then we will see some real budget cutting. As one of the few who actually pays taxes (more than my share actually thanks to AMT) I will be delighted to see everyone including the lowest paid share the misery.

The continuing resolutions are a major problem. GOP should refuse to continue funding until Obama agrees to come to the table on the budget. We may not like compromise but we need to follow the process set up by law, not just push the problem forward.

Unfortunately there is NO ONE in the Republican party who has the ability to do this. And they are reluctant to find professionals who have the capabilities to develop and implement a winning game plan.

It is not voter fraud, bad Republican candidates or poor ground game. It is the American voter.

We had a choice yesterday: Freedom or Free Stuff. America chose free stuff.

It was bound to happen some day and that day was yesterday.

“Obama has every reason to move to the center to make his second term successful, but he will not.”

Obama has NO reason to move to the center, in fact I think he will go full steam ahead to the left. Look for more executive orders and fiats from our new King. Welcome to slavery.
