“This election wasn’t lost on the issues.”

I’d have to agree with you. The issues broke so heavily in Romney’s favor. The critical thinking skills of our electorate have diminished and been dumbed down to the point that the majority of Americans vote for eye appeal and not the issues.

Win the argument, lose the election it makes no sense!

How else can you explain this defeat?

Sorry, I don't see the analogy. The re-election of Obama represents the moral decline of this country. These large population centers that voted for the socialist are prime for a major collapse and loss of life. There are now more takers than makers in the US.

> It was lost because Obama is a clean, articulate, light-skinned person of color.

The problem with this analysis is that it does not explain the results in the losing Senate races.

Agreed. This is a cult of personality. Democrats are going to read way to much into it, and over reach. A lot of people just like the guy, and were waiting for the tiniest reason to vote for him, and Sandra gave it to them.

I guarantee you that just about everyone is going to read this result wrong.

I am sure there is a spiritual demision to all this. It is the whole world and bringing down the US is a necessary part of it.

Conservatives just need to be tight and loyal with one another and ride it out. We need to become more insular - more of who we are and protective and cooperative with one another - and less a part of “the world.” It’s going to get wierder and uglier. We will be watching it unfold and we can’t stop it. Obammy is going to really come of age in his second term.
