StAntKnee is changing his tagline from . . .

Why’dja say I was a community organizer? You know how I always wanted to pretend I was a soldier.

This is a pretty straightforward response. Reasons we lost.

#1 Sarah was a WOMAN who lacked experience (notice in the case of BO it does not matter)

#2 Mac was too weak. He had the right creds but lacked the spunk of Reagan, Palin etc.

#3 Things were not functioning well in govt. The war was underfunded. Govt was expanding and spending was out of control.

#4 The economy tanked(and was heading downhill for some time). Economy and fear were the biggest factors as was terrorism in the previous two elections.

#5 Clearly the war in Iraq was something the majority of people did not support. Im not saying they were correct because the media manipulated their perceptions just in time for the election.

#6 Pelosi et al did a complete hatchet job on Bush in preparation for this election. It was very well orchestrated and widely participated in by all Demorats.

#7 Republican lack of message. The Democrats had their message, the economy, look what Bush did etc., even though they had a huge hand in it. Republicans need to refine their message. Mac wasnt so great at this. It did not have mass appeal.

#8 Some of this changing of the tide is cyclical. It just happens over time that people want a change. Unfortunately this type of Communistic change is doomed to fail.
