the elections will be dominated more and more by open border hispanics/people who agree with them and people who want to be taken care of by the government.. good luck with that.

The GopE really wanted Christie to run because they KNEW Mitt would have problems connecting with the folks. That’s what it’s all about.

If you put up richie rich guy from MA, it’s not going to work. Dems did the same thing with Kerry. Just as liberal as Obama so why didn’t he work out? It’s about the folks.

In fairness to Romney if he had run against a white president with a horrible record he probably would have won. Obama was elected president because he was black and that’s ultimately why he won again.

If you took a look at Mitt Romney’s record and his campaign rhetoric and then saw what Obama has done and his lies and you decided to stay home, I don’t know what to say.
It wasn’t Mitt’s fault that people stayed home, if they did. It’s not the mysterious GOP elite’s fault either. The distinction could not have been more stark and clear. We just have to digest this reality and understand that we might not be as popular anymore. A larger number of people think it’s the job of the government to give us free stuff, which is what they voted for.

Ronald Reagan ain’t walking through that door.

No, this is on the Republican Establishment and their choice - Willard Romney. The Republican base of conservatives (what's left of them) should and hopefully no longer buy the electability argument for an establishment candidate.

I said this last night when Romney started slipping. Until a viable conservative candidate comes along, the GOPe will continue to run these RINOs out there and they will be defeated every time. With each defeat, the country slides toward socialist rule, and now nothing will stop it.

Sorry. I am no great fan of Romney and you can feel free to look at my posting history if you doubt that. To Gov. Romney’s credit he ran a competent campaign, ran hard and did as good of a job as any of us could hope for. It would be convenient to try to attach blame to him.

The problem we face is much worse than a poor candidate losing an election. The election boiled down to a choice between a radical socialist and a liberal who tried to run as a conservative. The American people in large numbers picked the radical socialist. They weren’t looking for conservatism, they were looking for a nanny state.

That’s the take away here.

Mitt got the same percent of the white vote as Reagan did. What do you think changed?

Yours is one of many false dichotomies that we will hear in the next few years. Unless you live in Virginia or MD you didn't hear the wall-to-wall planned parenthood ads (your tax money at work) on all the radio stations (news, country, rock, etc). They lied and bashed Romney and then said not authorized by any candidate, etc. You didn't several fliers a day in your mailbox with the same crap.

The fact is that we are up against well-funded interests and media liars and that will never be overcome by any candidate alone. The only way we can succeed is to take back America from the cabal of elitists and leftists one good American at a time.

I think it falls on the fact that communists do not give up power. The election was rigged. 2008 was a bloodless coup. They allowed us to vote to keep us quiet.

You cannot ignore the power of an extremely biased media upon an under-educated electorate. I think the post-mortem will also show that the “war on women” tipped the scale. The country is 50% divorced from its strong work ethic and about 2/3 divorced from a right to life.

  1. The media did not report on food inflation - there was no "misery index." Mitt, shockingly, did not bring up the issue much.
  2. Food stamps inflate the cost of food - when you are paying with real money in a market flooded with play money, food prices go up.
  3. No one cared about point 2, above, so long as they got theirs.
  4. When you get into a bidding contest of who's going to give away more free stuff, the socialist wins. Mitt missed the chance to argue for lowering health costs and lowering the cost of education (and food, and energy).
  5. The media covered for O on so many issues - inflation, the failure of the Arab Spring (Benghazi), poor job numbers, the crippling effects of gov regulation on the economy
  6. People are apathetic
  7. There is some disparity in motivated R voter turnout vs voting results which I do not understand yet.

Please...Romney/Ryan ran a good campaign. Blame the voters. They want to try socialism period. Well they can have it. Iam making plans to leave. Forget about 2016 count me out. I am done.

Romney would have made a fine President. He offered real solutions but they rejected them. Instead they ignored the state of this country and it is only going to get worse.

Quit blaming Romney. What about the media? They had a hand in driving this election. Fraud? You bet. The next election if there is one there I said it will be more the same.

We can blame it on the Establishment, on the nominee, on several things...but the MAIN reason we are in this mess is because of all of our choices.

“Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.” ... Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Until we come to the place of GREAT repentance on the part of the majority of this nation, we will see an increasingly worse scenario. The CHANGE that is really needed is spiritual. History teaches this. The Sacred Scriptures teach this. Why don’t we want to learn?

I blame all Republicans who b*tched that Romney wasn’t the right man. THEY are responsible. They didn’t have EXACTLY who they wanted and they whined!

Demography is destiny. We have reaced a tipping point. The Democrats are well on their way to becoming the permanent majority party. Hillary will win in 2016 because the Dems have cobbled together an increasing majority of minorities and liberal non-Hispanic whites supported by the expansion of the welfare state.

Obamacare will be fully implemented and Obama will appoint several more liberal SCOTUS justices to remove the Constitutional safeguards. I don't blame Romney at all. It all goes back to the 1965 Immigration Act that changed this country forever.
