The story of the 2012 election is that voters still blame Republicans for systemic problems caused by liberalism, and yet they credit Obama for victories brought about by applied conservatism. Now how does this happen? The answer is both a short story and part of a longer festering narrative. Consider: during the Republican primary season, half of Mitt Romney's consultants told him to call Newt Gingrich the devil. The other half told him to merely to claim that the devil worshiped Gingrich. Then these same sorcerers all told Mitt to call Barack Obama "a nice guy." Content added by staff

Comments: So so so much money left on the table by the campaign, thanks to the consultant class and their squishy strategies.

Funny....the Dems never worry about running the most extreme leftists possible but are constantly advising us to put up more moderate Republicans.
Perhaps we should coach our own team.
Just a thought.

Oh, please. America decided to go with Obama on purpose. Don't ask me why but it wasn't because Republicans (or Romney) ceded the game. Billions of dollars were spent to inform a lazy electorate. Romney/Ryan campaigned endlessly. The people have spoken and it turns out they're idiots.

Hope everyone who is happy with the election is enjoying obama's stock market. If the tea party can't become mainstream after whats coming in the next two years we should all just apply for welfare. Sappy republicans who would call obama a nice guy are not welcome.

And I say, "Why do you believe the polls about this, when you already know these people are in the tank for Obama?" We are living in a constant Propaganda War. One of the fundamental rules of Propaganda is make sure your opponent has bad information. I don't believe any of it.

I find Mr. Wright's suggestions that the right needs to move more aggressively to "correct the record" and that "the truth matters" interesting, but in the wake of November 6, somewhat ridiculous. For more than 50 years, the left has been working and has had considerable success at taking over our education system. The result is that a majority of our population is not only uneducated, but essentially ineducable. Keeping in mind that, in the 60s, the Jesuits took a hard left and never looked back, it is still useful to remember one of their most cherished maxims, Give me a child until the age of six and I will give you the man."

Correction: maxim should have read "until the age of seven."

C. Edmund Wright's thinking parallels my own.
No overall strategy, combined with the traditional Moderate GOP "Kick Me" signs worn proudly on Moderate GOP behinds. Sheesh.

No More 'Electable' moderates!
We need someone who will fight for conservatives. Remember Ronald Reagan was considered an easy candidate for the Dems to defeat.

I have been a California 'decline to state' for at least 20 years. I actually registered as a Republican, proudly, this election. I cringed at the campaign sometimes, was immensely proud we could put up a good man as a candidate, I seethed at the vulgarity and crassness and lies of the left and was so frustrated with the media. But sad to say, if the 'campaign' can't figure out what do to to GOTV, and can't figure out how to challenge the other side's behavior and call a spade a space (no racial inference intended), and calls Obama 'a good man', and can't elucidate policies, I'm going back to being an independent.

Can we fire the advisors to the Republican Party? Please? Karl Rove: fire him. Reince Priebus: fire him. John Boehner: fire him. "Not a choice, but an echo." What we wanted was a choice. What we got was "socialism lite." What we saw was a savage and unprincipled war, practiced by the left, on everything which is good and decent and honorable in this country. No attack was too scurrilous. No incident was too petty. Every honest observation was treated as an attack.
No remark by any Democrat was ever pounced on, magnified, and blown up to a billboard. None of Zippy's gaffes became the talk of comedy shows. demonRats say stupid stuff all the time; their remarks are never thrown back in their faces; they are regarded as honorable despite their dishonor.
But the Republicans: they cannot fight. They just sit by, passively, while they are savaged. You can't win that way. Once Romney had obtained sufficient delegates to win the nomination, ALL the other candidates should have banded together to back him, and run ads blasting the WH attack machine. But no, this did not happen. Instead the pubbies just let the Dems divide them, and conservatives stayed home. In droves.
What a pathetic excuse for a party!

The only way to get your message out to the braindead masses that vote for Demon-RATS is through the MSM.
The MSM is a fully owned subsidiary of the DNC.
Not that it matters any more. As soon as NØbama makes about 20,000,000 illegals into citizens before the 2014 elections, every red state will permanently turn blue. And you know every one of them will vote Demon-RAT from now on.
Game over. The Demon-RATS won. Just hope that NØbamacare provides free KY Jelly for all the times we are going to have to just bend over and take it from now on...
My only joy is knowing that we at least know what is coming. Imagine the shock on all the people who actually voted for NØbama who don't have a clue what they are in for...

If anyone still doubts the Gallup Poll -- and common sense -- showing that Mitt Romney is way ahead in the polls, all they had to do was watch the third presidential debate to have their minds changed. Romney put the game into the "four corners" stall, running out the clock while turning away numerous chances for easy slam-dunks and taking care not to stop the clock

"Did they come in and inherit a tough situation? Absolutely." This from Paul Ryan, in the worst moment of the VP debate. Barack Obama is going to lose in a blow-out, and the debates have certainly padded that margin. Having said that, both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan left "some easy money on the table" through the first two debates that they now need to collect. The Romney/Ryan mandate will be even bigger, and effective governing afterwards will be more viable, if they but correct the media narrative of what Obama "inherited."

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

SANFORD - Trayvon Martin´s parents have settled a wrongful death claim for an amount believed to be more than $1 million against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed. Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was
