A better statement of why the Republican party got it wrong:
“...The difference between the left and the right is that the left has a five-year plan and the right has a five-second plan. The left knows what it’s going to do four years from now when the numbers look even worse than they do today. But what is the right going to do? Run another cheerful capitalist who promises to use his Olympics experience to fix the economy, but never really seizes those grievances and goes for the throat? That’s what the left is counting on...” Daniel Greenfield aka Sultan Knish

One of the sharpest pieces of writing I have read in a long time. I saved it. Thanks.

Romney brought a cap pistol to a gunfight. Never has worked, never will work. When you run against a thug, you have to out battle the thug.
