Well said. Nate was dead on, and that was simple statistical probability with poll averages. Not rocket science, but simple math.

Polls are done by companies to make money. The more reliable they are the more they will make. This idea that they would be intentionally inaccurate goes beyond that simple concept.

Sad but true. It’s going to take another Great Depression or a complete economic meltdown before people wake the hell up! It’s sad what we’ve done to the country. The founding fathers, if they could speak to us, would probably ask WTF did you learn from our words and actions to form this great nation. Sadly, the answer today would be not a helluva alot!

“America lost.”

No, Gitmo, America died. The America that we knew and loved is officially gone. My home was partially decimated by hurricane Sandy. Obama got re-elected. 2012 is truly one of the worst years of my life.

Over the weekend, Axelrod said that an Obama win was "baked in, it's a done deal 100% guaranteed." This, together with all the other facts, is an admission.

Theft.

More minorities voted for Obama this time than ever before. So tell me how a “true” conservative would have shifted voted away from Obama and towards the GOP?

Right now, minorities see the GOP as the extremist portion of the Tea Party. That perception needs to be fixed. No GOPer will win the whitehouse again until that is fixed, doesn’t matter who it is.

I disagree strongly with what you said. Had we run Palin rather than whatshisname, with the same running mate - we would have won. I do not like the fact we were led around for a while before she changed her mind, but Palin is head and shoulders above anyone else on our team. Period.

Palin can win the red states. But then again, any RINO can win the red states. How does she win the swing states?

For those of you who think the world has ended, one thing to remember is this:

The GOP house backed the conservative Ryan budget 100%.

They won. Solidly.

Mitt Romney kinda, sorta nudged around the edges of almost supporting it.

He got his butt kicked.

Is there a lesson here??

1. First thing we do is get voter ID passed

2. Use the purple ink on fingers

3. Stop same day registration

The worse thing of this election is obama putting 3-4 Supreme Court Justices in place.

After this election I have a feeling of doom.

“If the market had dropped 2000 points in the final month of the campaign, Romney would have won.”

A TRILLION DOLLARS of your grandchildrens money made sure it did not crash. Now, they just won’t care. The Banksters win, WE ALL LOSE....

The GOP reminds me of the Charlie Brown Halloween. The GOP who support Liberals remind me of Linus and The Great Pumpkin. The Morons sit year after year waiting on an event that will not happen. Of course when they are wrong and loose the say just wait too next year you'll see.

Then there is the Charlie Brown & Lucy aspect where Good Ole Charlie Brown knows that Lucy is going to pull away the football just as sure as the Liberal Media including FAUX News Nightly Beltway Snobs will again next election push for the most Liberal Schmuck running and purposely destroy the others one at a time. Last but not least is the Trick or Treat. What does Charlie Brown always get?

People, stop being Linus and Charlie Brown. Lucy in this case the media, the RNC, and so called Republican ANAList, who control the primary process is going to make fools of you again in 2014 & 16 otherwise.

The GOP as an organization is owned lock, stock and barrel, by North Eastern Liberals. The only way out is to form a true Second Party to oppose the current united GOP and Democratic party.

As a conservative, I voted for Mitt Romney here in Tennessee.
However, I will not vote for another McCain or Romney.

The real truth about this election is the ever growing takers beat the
Makers. And the takers will only grow in the next 4 years.
I will leave it to you moderates to carry the water in the future.
Me... I will continue stocking up for the coming collapse. Greece is
Coming to America sooner than later.

I have no idea what happened. I thought Romney was going to win this right up until the 11pm poll closings. Instead four more years of Obama. I am in tears!

It all depends on what she does next.

Right now, the GOP is on the wrong side. We are selling off factories and firing people. Not the way to win elections.

We need to be on the side of progress.

How Palin goes about that, will make all the difference.

After a suitable time, perhaps she can join forces with the most recent VP.

The two of them would be a powerful team. IMHO.

The Great Depression netted us the New Deal and irreparably altered American outlooks about the role of government. I don’t think another Great Depression would help.

$5T. That's the amount Obama has added to the national debt. Of course, the GOP went along with it.

I work for pollsters. When someone says they are “independent”, they usually lean towards a party. “Independent” is just a popular thing to say these days although there are some true independents who just vote on issues or the candidate.
