Why did we lose?
My opinion, after seeing exit polls, is the "Soccer Mom", again.
Big majority of women voted Democrat. I think maybe they cant take the body count on nightly TV. I also think they truly believe the Katrina Hurricane disaster could have been avoided.
The Soccer Mom has kids getting old enough for war, and they do not like it.
Do they really think that the jihadis will simply go away? Do they think that their children will be any less dead if it's of radiation poisoning here in America instead of over there, fighting the enemy?
This is the best argument for the successor state to America--whatever survives the coming harvest of Islamist wrath and Ahmadinejad's madness--to deny women the franchise. They simply cannot think.
Very true, and the key to the whole election. This is no longer a country capable of fighting The Long War. Bush and Rumsfeld never understood that.
I hate to be repetative, but as long as the bulk of the sheepsh%t media continue to promote the claim that the Democratic party is "for" women, then easily-duped women will continue to flock to the Dems.
I wish I had a solution, but I need another cup of coffee first.
Bad men are the cause of everything.
That's nice. Mom can deliver fresh sammies to her kids who will be fighting HERE when Joe Jihadi shows up...
I agree.
The Security Mom morphed back into the Soccer Mom because of a perceived dimunition of the threat.
I find this conclusion boundlessly depressing as Republicans are never very good at pandering to this shockingly ignorant part of the Electorate (think of the pony-tail guy in the 1992 Bush-Clinton-Perot debate).
