Personally I think Romney ran a very good campaign, and the proof is that we got killed in the Senate and didn't do well in the House either. So the collapse was across the board.
Rather than recriminations I would suggest a more serious soul searching that tells us that this is NOT a "center right country" and not even "center left" but a LEFT WING country for now. It looks a lot like England in the decade before Thatcher. Worse, we have officially lost the young (if by a smaller margin than in 08) and that means they STILL are not getting it about the debt, unemployment, and their future.
Indeed. But let us not take this news as breaking. We've been crafting these young brownshirts in the Government Schools for 40 years.
Look at it this way. This election was not a turning point that we lost. Obama is merely a reflection of these years of decay.
If it were not for Obama, some other empty chair would've arrived.
“Worse, we have officially lost the young”
My teenage son heard the results, was in shock, saying he could not believe how many stupid people are out there. Unfortunately, he’s probably one of the only conservative leaning kids among his friends. So, he’s out numbered in his age group.
