In one bright note for Republicans, the party added one net governorship its total, with 30 GOP governors nationwide to 20 Democrats.

Obama’s still trying to figure out what happened to the other 7 states.

How many of the GOP states will refuse to implement the Obamacare health care exchanges? I think two of them are Virginia and Florida.

I think Texas is another one. I figure the number of states will grow exponentially in the very near future.

Imagine if we didn’t have the 17th Amendment stepping on our necks. We would have a huge majority in the US Senate.

Even Michigan is a large GOP majority state.

Let’s have all 37 secede, so I can move to one of them.

I could get out of this Democrat controlled Maryland and go somewhere that people have enough common sense to vote against the Muslim.

Now don’t forget, Obama said in 2008 that he had already visited 57 states, had one to go, and his campaign wasn’t letting him go to Hawaii and Alaska. That means that he believes there are 60 states!

So far this is true, However, even the “good” states are going to be overwhelmed by national debt, Obamacare, and other horrid policies before long. I think people are going to find that there is nowhere to run.

Meanwhile we have a bunch of terrified clowns running around screaming that the GOP is finished if we don't pander to everyone because there aren't enough of us to win. I even had someone tell me tat we need to pander to atheists and stop shoving religion down their throats with opposition to gay marriage and abortion.

Many will. But here is a problem. Insurance COMPANIES are national, and as they become unprofitable in some big blue states they will go out of business or change their models altogether. It’s less state policy driving this and more about how much they can tolerate financially.

This map is from 2010 and we've taken 3 more states since then.

Amazingly, West Virginia is now voting reliably for the Republican for President but geneally Democrat for everything else. But this year we have a historic high in State House delegates (45 of 100, highest since 1932) and just won the Attorney General and one Supreme Court race, to add to the first GOP Supreme Court justice and 2 of 3 Congressman. So we are gradually strengthening even here in the home state of Senator Byrd.

Here is one important lesson to be learned from this, folks: Conservative principles need to be cultivated from the ground up, not the top down.

I'll say it again ...

Conservative principles need to be cultivated from the ground up, not the top down.

Look at state like North Dakota. One of the "darkest red" states in the U.S., with Republicans in control at the state level in both the legislative and executive branches. Barack Obama got something like 39% of the vote there in 2012, yet the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate won.

It's time to stop this crap where we have Beltway @ssholes with access to hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign cash driving the agenda all over the U.S.

If every state which the RAT bastards took that has a GOP trifeca would vote in electoral vote allocation by the same method used in Maine and Nebraska (1 for the winner of each congressional district, 2 for the statewide winner), then we could compete in electoral votes as well.
