There's a lot of monday morning quarterbacking going on and much of it may be right, but I still feel our biggest problem was too low of a turnout.

Well, yes. When you badly lose an election it is generally the result of poor turnout among your voters. The question is, why didn't more Republicans turn out? Hugh Hewitt hits on some very interesting answers here.

"The question is, why didn't more Republicans turn out?"

Forgive me if I sound like a broken record, but I think it's because there weren't any Republicans to vote for.

Americans were given a choice between voting for a bunch of Republicans who have been acting like Democrats, voting for real Democrats, voting for someone else (and "wasting their votes") or not voting.

What do Republicans expect people to do when faced with such choices? It's amazing so many Repulicans turned out at all, given the pathetic state of our (allegedly -- and now previously) Republican-controlled presidency and Congress.

Am I a Monday morning quarterback? Sure. I'm okay with that.

My call: Republicans dropped the ball and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Want more Republicans to vote? Offer some real Republicans to vote for.

The whole damn Republican Party is RINO.

That's your problem.
