So much for Rove's PERMANENT MAJORITY.....
....the Hispanic vote went big for Obama....
...New Mexico is no longer a red state.....
...Colorado and Arizona are trending left...
how will we ever win an election in the future?
Thank you George W. Bush and John Mccain for ruining our party with your open borders policy.
Not just Hispanics voting Dem....but voting in rather MASSIVE majorities.
I guess they miss their socialist homes........
It would be a big mistake to ignore the other immigrants from Somalia and other nations.
The Republicans deserve this loss but the country does not. Time to start looking towards 2010. Good night folks. I think I’ll be away from the computer and the TV for a while. This race is over.
This is the day the Republic died.
Demographics is destiny ..
I think the larger issue is suburban households making $100k+ who vote for Dems on cultural issues.
Yes we can still win an election and yes demographics have changed this country and maybe not for the better.
It wasn’t just Bush, many years of republicans deliberately allowed massive illegal immigration.
You’ve slowly been losing states from the group republicans can possibly win but no one wanted to hear this.
They dug their own grave. The same goes for bipartisanship. Either way, the Republicans will never be relevant again without conservative leadership. Palin in 2012 is a start.
I blame the Kennedy family for this with the immigration reform bill in the 60’s which basically increased immigration from 3rd world countries while limiting Europeans!
United States of America - 1776-2008. Marxist Dictator takes over a former Republic. Mass amnesty and the country is majority Spanish speaking and minority English speaking.
it’s over...
I’d also like to GUT the RNC and get some folks in there with HALF a brain...
McCain showed his pandering stupidity in supporting illegal aliens and refusing to build a border wall in hopes that would help him with Hispanics. Hispanics still voted for Obama 3 to 1.
McCain also pandered to the environmentalists by supporting Global Warming laws - that got him zero votes as well.
Republicansssssssssssssss it’s chickens coming home to rooossssst.....
“It would be a big mistake to ignore the other immigrants from Somalia and other nations”
Oh yeah there are alot of Somalia’s in Santa Ana California. Latinos make up probably 90% of the legal/illegal immigrants.
I also place half the blame however, on our base, when you abandon your leadership (as openly as our base did) you tarnish your parties (brand) image. Especially for the non-afflicated masses......and thus with the GOP image tarnished......We end up putting up a huge RHNIO in McCain.....and then go on to lose to the most inexperienced / liberal person to run for POTUS in this Nation's history.
Onward to 2010.........
1965
Time to quit the rat race and go on the dole.
Remember, however, that massive (southern and Eastern) European immigration brought us the Dem majorities from the 1930s-1970s, so this is not unprecedented. Nevertheless, we will not truly see the real effects of the current wave of immigration on politics for another 15 years. What you have seen is the "greening" of suburbia and the secularization of American society (something I wish my religious friends would accept as fact). More than that, however, it was a volatile economy and frustration with Bush that ultimately damned McCain.
“Immigration has made us a Center-Left Country”
Nah! Ya think?
AIN’T DIVERSITY GREAT! Uncontrolled immigration just determined this election. Well, we ‘knuckle draggers’ tried.
Forget about the White House. Welcome to DIVERSITY house!

Obama to turn White House into Safe House for Illegal Immigrants
The new White House Safe House for illegal immigrants will go by the code name Auntie Zeituni’s Pantry[snip]
The only saving grace will be watching the peace niks whine when he doesn’t bring home the troops.
