The key is the "republican" party needs to get rid of the fake conservatives - start standing up for what the foundation is -

People voted for Obama because the Republicans were not conservative enough. Logical.

If people would not vote for Obama, the Republicans then would become more conservative all by themselves. True!

and then EDUCATE the people over the next 2 years.

Education camps for all! Mandatory Republican confession hours twice a week in schools! and in the next step: a Republican breeding program, to genetically design the Republican prototype! Gatacca Republica! Marching in step towards the future, the fighting conservatism in our rucksacks, camping at the gates of our enemies!

We reproduce for the Republican progress!

IMO I thought McCain ran a lousy camapign. The Obama camp successfully compared JM with GW. You heard this over and over as though it were a mantra. JM did nothing to respond to this. That coupled with the insult to injury with the economy, JM was doomed

If one looks at the "whole picture" this election, one finds that the Democrats won races in quite a few states over their Republican rivals. And I've read where the Obama campaign was "energizing" for the Democrats overall. So it was more than just an Obama vs McCain thing. Folks appear to want to give the Dems a shot...

The Republicans just "couldn't get it up" this year...

Yup, the number of Republicans that went out to vote this election dropped (by about 5% IIRC?). The number of Dems that voted skyrocketed. The Dems didn't make that much of an advance with Independents (about 2%, again IIRC). They smashed the GOP turnout-wise.

PD

Obama is a good speaker..he spent more time talking about the subject than McCain did "attacking" him by saying what Obama will and wont do about it.

So who won

The facts are pure and simple. The reasons clear and concise.

McCain lost because more people voted for Obama than him.

On a side-note, I read that Palin has received order by her party to give back all those ridiculously expensive dresses of hers, you know, the 150,000 dollar-story.

Hehe - worst case scenario for a vain beauty queen. Just giving back a collection of shoes is said to be more cruel for some women.

Where did you read that? Couldn't find anything about that particular topic...

He lost because he was a republican. Simple as that. Jesus Christ himself could not have won on the republican ticket after what Bush and Company has been doing to the country for the past 8 years.
