The shock of last night’s electoral outcome in the presidential race is setting in for some conservatives. But just how it was lost seems to be up for the debate.
On Laura Ingraham’s Wednesday radio show, conservative commentator Ann Coulter and Ingraham debated who is to blame. Coulter, author of “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama,” was less willing to fault the candidate Mitt Romney, while Ingraham put the loss mostly on the shoulders of those running the Romney campaign.
COULTER: I think Romney ran just on his own force of will, a magnificent campaign. I think he was the perfect candidate. INGRAHAM: Are you kidding me? You think he ran a magnificent campaign?

...loves her some Mitt Romney & Chris Christie!
Lest we not forget that wimmin are a big reason we got him agin.
The quintessential “American story” is no linger rags-to-riches through hard work and perseverance but it is surviving the street jungle and gaming the welfare system to find a fleeting moment of media fame.
Obamaphone lady is a prime example of the new American acheivement.
Obama won because ever since JFK, they want a cool celebrity in the White House, who is loved by Hollywood.
Might as well move the White House to Hollywood.
This election was unequivically tipped by the corrupt, partisan MSM. They protected Obama at all costs and sought to denigrate Romney at all turns. It was like a prizefight where the ref kept handing Obama a pair of brass knuckles. That's how fair the election was.
Actually, it was neither fraud nor Romney. It was demographics. There are a lot more blacks, Latinos, Asians, young people and single women in today's electorate than there were in 1980. The Republicans need to make gains with one or more of these groups or they face long-term irrelevance.
the second thing is that Romney supporters did not take polls seriously. They were accurate and people blew them off.
Nobody here on FR (myself included) believed the polls. We were wrong. The media may lie, but pollsters' economic success depends on accuracy. We need to start believing them.
Yes. It’s not 1980 anymore.
Most Americans are lazy.
When they are told by the guys they listen to on Fox News that Romney will win in a landslide, and that the 0bama camp is worried and drawing small crowds compared to Romney’s confidence and huge crowds they start thinking they don’t have to waste any time and effort going to vote.
I don’t buy the Romney is a moderate to liberal republican excuse for him losing. Romney spoke about the 47 percent that weren’t going to vote for him and he was wrong. It’s well over 50 percent and climbing every day as the left continues to solidify their voting base.
While Coulter is a bit Northeast GOP oriented, Ingraham is a huge part of the problem. Ingraham is always willing to slam whomever is running against the Dims. She imagines she is helping, but what she is doing is helping Obama continue to blame Bush etc.
The Dim’s rally around their own. Ingraham always takes after our own.
I called him 4 years ago THE FACEBOOK PRESIDENT... I do not think most realize how powerful and hip social media is.. this is POP culture and where the nation is going... get onboard with these tools and reality and learn to use them for your message and image or fade away.....
What I have learned - As long as someone promises women can spread their legs with free and abundant birth control, and an abortion if necessary, they will always vote for you.
They do NOT want to talk about chasity or character, they want the right to screw whoever and whenever they are in heat, like Sandra Fluke. And if you dare suggest otherwise... it’s over.
LLS
Nobody's ever been as tough on Obama in person as Romney was in the first debate. He surged to a 5-point lead in the polls right after that, polls we now know were probably accurate all along. All he had to do was keep that up. Instead he ended the campaign whining about Obama attacking him, saying bland patriotic platitudes, and reciting a litany of economic statistics that went in one ear and out the other of the average dumbass voter.
0bama won because he had the support of the dumb masses (as Boortz refers to them).
Well, I for one denounce the republican party today and will no longer be associated with it. THEY HAVE FAILED MISERABLY!
I will be an island to myself for conservatism! FU GOP/RNC you can never expect me to support another one of your candidates unless they pass MY test of conservatism. You've proven you can NOT win with rinos and we told you this time and time again, assklowns!!
Yeah Christie did us worse than the flamer Charlie Crist did buddying up with Obama and glad handing him. What’s up with so called conservatives with the letters C and C in their names? Coincidence?
Wrong. Coulter savagely, unfairly and disingenuously savaged EVERY Republican who ever ran against Romney in the 2008 and 2012 primaries. She did everything she could to nominate her pet northeastern moderate Republican. She also went after McCain in 2008 far worse than Ingraham's ever gone after anyone during an election. Coulter is the most dangerous conservative pundit in America. She makes everyone think she's a real conservative and then she destroys real conservatives when it counts.
yeah he brought a limp noodle to a knife fight.
Since we’re going to lose anyway, can we at least TRY with a true conservative on the ticket next time
