93% of the vote counted.
We can expect at least 8 million more votes.
Romney will get close to 60 million, perhaps a little over.
The country has changed.
Conservatives probably increased their voter participation a little bit.
But the total number of Conservatives - voting or not - is not growing.
On the other hand, minorities and white Leftists continue to grow steadily.
It’s all about numbers in a democracy.
And the numbers say Conservatives are in deep trouble.
That's not correct. Since Obama appeared on the scene, twice as many voters have identified themselves as "conservative" in polls as have said they were "liberal." Additionally, party ID has changed from a 12-point Democrat advantage in 2008 to a 3-point Republican advantage (Gallup) in 2012. And every reputable poll indicated a huge enthusiasm advantage for Republicans this year. So we're supposed to believe that given a proportionally larger pool of Republicans to draw from, combined with a 2:1 advantage in philosophical leaning and a massive advantage in enthusiasm (not to mention universal anecdotal reports of actual massive turnout) that we did no better than we did in 2008? That doesn't make any sense at all.

Not sure about that line of less conservatives. True that socialists might have come out in force where it counted. Nit the country is conservative. I think Romney was just the wrong guy to get nominated. He was a flip flopper. The gop was a bit divided on him. Enough to get the division we had here that cause many Romney supports to get banned before he on the nomination. GOP has problems that lead to the tea parties. They are far from fixed.
