Iraq, corruption and lack of news ideas lost the election this time. Rahm ran some good candidates and took advantage of it. The majority of voters did not/ do not like the direction the country is headed. It would do the GOP a lot of good to actually listen to the voters! Just read the posts here - even the base thinks they already know everything that needs to be known and no one is suggesting even involving "the people".

Which brings up another point. The GOP base needs to be congenial and civil in their discssions. I imagine a lot of the ugly threads on this site and others - turned people off.

I agree that it needs to be congenial and has not been for the most part since November 7th. I'm certain that makes the DUers thrilled to watch us tear each other up...

IMO the candidates in the GOP that lost ran pretty lackluster campaigns -- or even stupid campaigns... look at Allen and Mackaka and how he handled it.

The fact remains the Dems outsmarted our guys because our side got cocky from power and yes, they ignored us. I think they are still ignorning us.

Case in point: Tony's comments the day after the election that now they could pass comprehensive immigration reform... to me that was an in your face to the people who have unabashedly supported our President for the past six years.
