When you couple low turnout with a few obnoxious and offensive comments on rape from gaffe-prone politicians, it’s hard to say whether the GOP ran with bad policies or just bad candidates....

Very depressing isn't it....the tea party is still alive, we are just fractured.

The non voters this year....had a temper tantrum, imo, & so we got the devil they hated most. Until they grow up, we will never win. It is always the comment you hear "I won't vote for ......, because", happens every election.

Me: I don't need a spiritual adviser as a President, Senator or Legislator.

Exactly. Voters generally tune out would-be Jeremiahs, whether from the right (Rick Santorum re. sexual morality) or from the left (Al Gore re. “climate change”). When the electorate wants jobs and an economic rebound, all else is just background noise.

Its actually pretty hilarious when you think about it. Republicans will nit pick every detail of a candidate until they find any single reason to NOT vote for them, while the Dems will blindly support their candidate even if it means fanatically dismissing mountains of serious defects and inadequacies in him/her.

We say, "I just couldn't vote for our candidate because out of the 400 issues he spoke about I really didn't like number 47."

They say, "I voted for our candidate because his skin tone reminds me of a Starbucks frappuccino."
