Add Newt Gingrich to the list of Republicans coming to terms with the loss of the presidential election. On Monday, the former speaker of the House sounded reflective on the "Today" show, saying, "We need to stop, take a deep breath and learn." He added, "The president won an extraordinary victory. And the fact is, we owe him the respect of trying to understand what they did and how they did it."

Gingrich said, "But if you had said to me three weeks ago Mitt Romney would get fewer votes than John McCain and it looks like he'll be 2 million fewer, I would have been dumbfounded." …

If the republicans reelect boner and keep moving left... I will find a new Conservative movement to join and work my ass off to defeat the dims and the republicans. I do not want to but this was their last election... they blew it... and they are working on blowing the next one.

And to think, it might coulda been you, Newt.

In that it might coulda been Newt giving his concession speech? You're right about that.

Gingrich would've looked like Mondale on election night. He'd have carried his home state and little else (which is more than I can say for Santorum or Bachman).

They have more integrity than we do... they admit that they have problems... our guys are scared to even talk out loud.

Correct about women voting for Nixon, and men for JFK, which is what I was trying to point out in that post.

The numbers I see on 1976 is that both men and women voted for the seemingly at the time, social conservative Carter, against the Watergate tainted, and pro-abortion Ford.

I think every GOP dominated state should pass a law that says anytime there is greater than 100% turnout a recount is automatic. If their going to cheat make them work for it.

Single women vote, Obama wins. I suspect Romney won the married women vote.

Stop replying, Doctor Misogynist. One insult towards my mother is too many.

Besides, my mother is a highly-conservative Catholic, not of the ilk that votes for any pro-abortion candidate.

It’s simply unthinkable behavior by Romney. I don’t know which angers me most, Obama stealing the election or Romney giving it away.

I love it!!! Obama has stolen the election with fraud, countrywide. Handled like a true marxist!!! And.....Hilllary Clinton is gone....Leon Panetta is gone....General Petraeous is headed to jail........Eric Holder will soon resign.........both the Dems & Pubbies will give Obama zilch,,,, shucks he’s a lame duck criminal. Whose running the country???.....shucks it’s the thrity (30) Republican governors. States will either leave the union...or Obama must resign or be impeached at some point.

When this Libya fiasco truth reaches the light of day and the Sun shines on this horrible, murderous Obama scandal, Obama will fall!!! Folks, America is no longer a free nation!!!
