Which Americans are you talking about here? It's not like Obama won a 50-state landslide. If the conservative Republicans have turned their back on the moderates, it's not without cause. We're been there for them on issues of concern, but when it comes time for them to take one for the team, they're stabbing us in the back.
The new americans mostly, but older ones are still pretty disenchanted too.
No Obama didn’t win a landslide, but November 4th was a pretty impressive drubbing nonetheless. He made deep inroads into what were solid red states.
