Yes he lost. So did all of the other conservative and not so conservative candidates.

Every single one of them would have been better then Obama. Just like Rush said. Doesn’t mean they were perfect, or even good, just better.

Now the question is whether we’ll have a real election again in this country. Or whether we’ll effectively have a one party system which uses the power of the govt to monitor and manipulate the citizens. That is what we have now.

Still not enough watchers for that but what we do have is a DEMOGRAPHIC problem ~ the baby boomers are dying off at that high rate you get after age 60. They must be replaced just to stay even.

The Dems got ahead of the curve for the 2008 election, but then they had this incredible fall off for the 2010 election. Almost half their voters didn't show up!

Currently we are behind but by my calculations we did pick up an additional 5 million new Republican voters between 2008 and 2012 ~ alas, that wasn't enough by any means.
