That is really the takeaway, honestly. The GOP, seriously, might as well not even bother to contend for the presidency any longer, as ridiculous as that may sound, except for of the Confederacy. Obama had a failed domestic and foreign policy, but won in a landslide and carried Democrats below ticket with him. Redistricting ALONE saved us from one-party rule, and that is not a long-term fix for anything. The only thing Romney could have done was not be a Mormon, I guess. The demographics are not in our favor, are getting worse, and the voting tendencies for those groups are hardened.
