and continue with "They have to dump Evangelicals", "They have to embrace evangelicals","They have to become more fiscally liberal", "No, they have to be truly fiscally conservative", "They'll never win the presidency again and the demographics have doomed them", take a look at the numbers.
As of right now, only 2,841,121 votes separate the two. That's 2 percentage points, 2 percentage points of the total. Hardly an insurmountable hurdle in future elections. That relatively small number is not an indication that America has turned against the GOP and is convincingly on the side of becoming a Western European style nanny state. In a growing country, Obama has yet to match Bush's vote total from 2004. I know more votes are being counted, but Obama is way off his 2008 pace.
Romney lost the swing states he needed by a combined 373,141 votes. Ohio -100,142 Florida -47,016 Virginia -112,884 Colorado -113,099
A mere 373,200 votes could have the Dems singing the same song the GOP is singing today. And they'd be frustrated over the loss of 9 million votes for Obama as of now.

I think there is some merit to that. Even a dumbed down electorate who forgets what happened yesterday or gets programmed daily on what to think by the MSM will likely come to understand the deceit when they have suffered from severe pain, deprivation and disruption in their lives.
I told a friend last night that we will ALL be conservatives in 6 to 8 years, even a good portion blacks and Latinos. Only trouble is, it will be too late by then.
The choice was this - A Massachusetts liberal, or a Chicago liberal. They were smart enough to know these were their choices, so why bother to vote?
It doesn't matter what a politician says during a campaign. It's what they've SHOWN themselves to be is what matters.
Most people figured it really wouldn't matter. Not one of them was Moses. Not one of them would free the tax slaves. Their livelihood would still be stolen from them and their families. Nothing would have changed.
The Dems were bringing people to the polling place, talking them into requesting their help, and then going into the voting booth to make sure they voted right. They were taking absentee ballots into nursing homes, and filling them out for the dementia patients.
Until the GOP matches this activity, except for the dementia patients, the GOP will lose the important elections.
But you're a paranoid "black helicopter guy" if you "believe" in vote fraud, don't you know? Just toss it in, will ya? Most Americans are children and we conservatives must necessarily hold the majority of our fellow countrymen in contempt. GET WITH THE PROGRAM!

Yep. The tax slaves have no one to represent them. They have no one to vote for. They end up paying more and more every year, no matter who wins.
“because they are already misreading Tuesday’s results, and will do the exact wrong things to correct it. Stupid Party.”
Took the words right off my brain. The RNC lost me when they allowed the extreme left-winger Romney to even run. They don’t listen, and I won’t support left wingers no matter which party they come from.
LOLOL! {^)
Amen.
“Too many” evangelicals were too good to vote for a Mormom.
I agree that life just got a lot harder for all of us, including the “middle class” who thought Obama was going to help them. If people wanted to be like Europe, they may get it - high taxes, high prices, low wages, high unemployment. With one big difference: there will be no USA to foot the bill for our defense, or anyone’s.
All I can do is remind myself that Americans in the past have faced worse conditions, and much longer odds, than these. And they prevailed. We will have to keep trying, which is why I replied to, and agreed with, your post. I felt terrible yesterday. I still feel bad. The future will be a lot tougher than it could have been. But I want to be worthy of the sacrifices my ancestors made. I hope I have the strength, courage and wisdom to do that.
If I don't, then I was not worthy of the country bestowed to me and my family.
You said it, Brother FReeper.
This country would look a lot different today if votes had been honestly tallied for the past two decades.
I am not wearing rose-colored glasses, but I have to find something positive. And there are some positives. At least we have the House; if Boehner has no spine, enough of his delegation does to keep him somewhat in line. I hope.

The nastiest and most indisidious element in this is that it has a majority, the tax slave voters who know enough to realize when they're voting against their own interests -- mostly smart, productive, good, moral Americans -- convinced it's a minority surrounded by "children" who wanted Santa Claus. How many of those "children" are pure fiction spun out of vote fraud?
I see all kinds of crybaby crap about how "most" Americans are stupid enough to have elected Obama and advanced liberalism ... but if "most" Americans really were that way, why do Democrts have to cheat?
The most insidious thing about this vote fraud is that it has folks holding their own countrymen in contempt on a false premise.
The more evidence of vote fraud, the more evidence that indeed we are the majority and that Rush's "children" who wanted "Santa Claus" are a cheating bunch of folks who make up less than half of this great nation.
I voted against Barack Obama only after months of soul searching, not for Romney.
I did not want to vote for Mitt Romney, but his religion was not among my several reasons.
If it’s this close with a closet commie Muslim and a liberal Republican as the choices, what do you think it will be like if we ever run a conservative? The choices were stark, the economy speaks for itself, yet people still chose the commie Muslim even over a “moderate” Republican-do we have to run a democrat to win? Hurrah for the one-party government.
Yes, there is. There's an entire nation of tax slaves busting their as$es to pay their bills, because 50% of their wages are stolen from them in some kind of tax or government fee, and it never goes away.
They have to support THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT and THE ENTIRE DEMOCRAT BASE before they even get their paychecks. It's all taken from them first - they get to keep the meager left overs for themselves. Even worse, those freeloaders are collecting @$40 - $60,000 a year per freeloading "family." They've never worked a day in their life! They've never done anything for anyone - not even themselves!
Neither party speaks for them. They're born, they go to school, they get used as slaves for the rest of their lives, and they die.
Vote? Vote for what? For who? Nobody wants to free the slaves. If they did, the entire government establishment would lose their jets, mansions, Delmonico steaks, fine wines, and caviar!!!! They'd lose their ability to buys votes from the freeloaders off backs of the slaves. They would lose everything.
Slavery is alive and well in this country. The only thing that's changed is the group that's been chosen to do the laboring.
“My message to the GOP: Do NOT take advice from liberal Democrats. They are not interested in your success in the future. They are interested in your destruction.”
Come on now...if gop leaders cannot see clearly that Romney was too weak, they do not belong in politics!
There. Fixed it for you.
What amazes me is that reports were that long lines and heavy turnout were reported, both for early voting and on election day. Yet the total vote count is millions less than voted in 2008. Something doesn’t add up.
It is curious that Obama carried every single battleground state. Somehow it all worked out for Obama.
