I have been urging since the election debacle that we approach the election loss the way the Democrats would, by a ruthless examination of the data and a thorough analysis of the demographics. To my knowledge there has been no serious study released telling us exactly why we lost the election. Please keep in mind the context, virtually all of us went into election night thinking we were going to win. That demonstrates that we were not even in the game. To this day we still do not know, on a scientific basis, what happened.

All of the exhortations, even those made by Mark Levine my favorite radio personality, to the effect that we must move to the right are based on ideology and not data. There is, however, one remark that Mark Levin made with which there can be absolutely no dispute:

"a feckless RNC, a preposterously incompetent get-out-the-vote operation,"

We need no more data to know that that get out the vote election night fiasco compels heads to roll.

The answer is simple - cigarettes and wine.

Seriously, I think, at least in the presidential election, we need a better candidate who stands for something.

To this day we still do not know, on a scientific basis, what happened.

At least three things happened:

1. Massive, massive voter fraud, the smallest 1% of the iceberg has been exposed. Let's hope for more, much more.

2. Many grass roots Conservatives saw no reason to vote for Mitt Romney.

3. How do you compete with Santa Claus*? To my knowledge, there's been no response to this by any Conservative.

*Raging, over the top numbers of Americans on Medicaid and food stamps are two examples.
