“Young voters, Hispanic voters, black voters, and single women voters “

Add Muslims to that voter base which will all increase now.

All we will have in the future is just another Bush to hold the seat for one or two terms for the next Democrat.

changing demographics??? do you realize George Bush received more votes in 2004 than obama did last night??? the GOP did not get out and vote- if they had Romney would be president today...obama’s vote count is down more than 10% from 2008- doesn’t seem like changing demographics to me....seems the problem is the way the GOP fights like little girls the past 8 years...

Actually, Romney had no ground game. He should have hired Rove, the GOTV expert, as a consultant. I guess he's used to knowing everything. Sometimes being too smart is a handicap. Romney not only wanted to win, he wanted to win his way - via ad blitzes. If he had done it Rove's way, he would have won. One thing GWB had going for him was humility - not the kind where you say you are humble, but actually defer to the experts. (Of course, given GWB's sparse resume - while far superior to Gore's, Kerry's or Obama's - he had much to be humble about, relative to GHWB).

Yep! They have killed the Nation. When they killed the Nation, they also killed themselves.

We, as a Nation are finished. While we could survive the Clintons, Carters, and obamas. We cannot survive the parasites, fools, and traitors that elect them. I have searched for a silver lining to this very black cloud, but there is not one to be found.

Yes, it IS a Republican problem and Breitbart was on to the answer of how to solve it. Conservatives must get involved in the media to change it. Hopefully some young and upcoming conservatives will go into journalism but with the state of our schools and what they are learning these days that would probably have to come from the home schooled group. Public education is another sore issue for me as far as it being a training ground for future liberals.

Perfection wasn’t my issue. My issue was Romney’s timidity.

He did not fight. As you say, he had some pluses, but if you don’t fight, then you will lose that round. You might have the best jab in the game, but if you don’t use it, then you might was well not have it.

Romney would have had no problem pushing Benghazi. He was pro-strong military.

But he backed away from Benghazi hoping to run out the clock based on the strength of his first debate performance.

Republican “talking heads” are already spewing the garbage that Romney lost because he was too far right. Look for a repeat liberal in 2016. The G.O.P.e. never learns.

Yes, the media sucks./ I intend to cancel my subscription to the Akron Beacon Journal today. How much coverage did Lybia get? We had to watch Christie kiss Obama fot a week. This entertainment tonite attitude as overtaken reason and logic. THIS NATION WILL NOT STAND IF THIS CONTINUES.

You are correct about the media...it is another factor. However, the root cause is STILL the fact that we have put other things before God. Until we fully understand that and take the proper actions, our direction continues to spiral in a downwards direction.

If Romney had chosen to incessantly talk about Benghazi, he would have forced the media to cover it. He chose not to talk about it even though it was the one issue gaining traction.

He was too TIMID. That’s the charge against him.

If the real campaign happens AFTER the conventions, then Romney was playing prevent defense for almost the entire game.

timid
tepid
lukewarm
awol

You want to start turning the tide in the “culture war”? Break up the media monopolies.

One company owning 2 TV stations, radio stations, and a newspaper all in one city gives them undue sway. And that company does the same thing in multiple cities and probably produces movies as well. Everything you see, read, and hear is controlled by a few companies. They set the meme. They are the Pied Piper.

Not really looking to play shoulda, woulda, coukda here but I will anyway.

If Rep and Conservatives across the board had followed the Reagan doctrine of speaking no ill towards our Party and would have backed the Party’s chosen candidate after the primaries there is no doubt in my mind the outcome would have been different.

To believe LESS people turned out this cycle vs 2008 still stuns me given all we now know about this president. So to all of you “purists” who simply couldn’t bring yourselves to vote for a man who by your non action as much as said he is actually WORSE than the disaster currently in the WH, you will assume the full responsibility for what if anything of a calamitous nature awaits us down the road.

Frankly I am both nauseated and totally repelled by your selfish actions

Todd Akin was the single biggest factor... after the media of course

Don't kid yourself, Mitt Romney was the biggest single factor by far. Add the double standard as a big factor. What Todd Akin had to say wouldn't have been a minor blip if it had been a democrat saying something comparable.

The democrats rejected Almighty God Himself, three times, at their convention and nary a blip.

Let me get this straight. Akin and Mourdock, two Tea Party candidates, can't even win in Missouri and Indiana, both of which went for Romney by 10% margins, but you think a conservative Akin- or Mourdock-type candidate could have won the presidency.

Post of the thread.

Sorry, folks; I'm not into RINOs either, but if you think that a strictly Conservative candidate in the mold of Akin or Mourdock will win nationally with this media controlling the narrative and this dumbed-down electorate responding like trained seals to Democrat propaganda, you're living in a bubble.

Boehner needs to be thrown out of his position.

To this day, I still don't understand how or why Romney got to be the nominee in the first place.

He ran against about a half dozen opponents, who were all, far more conservative than he was and the G.O.P.e. backed him. The Grand Old Party elite will do it again in 2016.

Why do you sound exactly like Rachel Maddow or some other DNC plant?

"Wrong answer.Theres a reason why the Republicans kept the house . Its a check on the President and the Senate."

Oh really?

Boehner wants to reach across the isle now and bend over.

Boehner offers congratulations to Obama

Posted: Nov 06, 2012 7:00 PM CST Updated: Nov 07, 2012 1:52 AM CST

Boehner said that the elections were a mandate to take "steps together" to boost the economy.

WASHINGTON (AP) - House Speaker John Boehner says that the decision by voters to keep a Democrat in the White House and Republicans in control of the House means they are looking for political leaders to find common ground.

The more conciliatory wording from Boehner came early Wednesday after Barack Obama secured a second term. The statement, part of a press release, contrasted with earlier statements when he said Republicans offered solutions while their opponents chose inaction.
