What happens to the lake if Romney wins?

One of my favorite radio talk show hosts explained it like this:

"You can't vote against Santa Claus".

That explains BO's victory perfectly.

Maybe if you prefer not to dig a little deeper and figure out what really happened.

A coalition that is based mainly on older, straight white men is an endangered political species. Hopefully the leaders of the Republican party will figure that out. If not, they will keep losing elections.

Also, a party that runs candidates who hold extreme views threatens its viability in other races, up and down the ticket and across state lines. Republican senate candidates Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock in Missouri and Indiana respectively are examples of this. Until Akin opened his mouth in August and talked about "legitimate rape," the Republicans were on track to gain control of the senate. And if Republican moderate Dick Lugar hadn't been beaten in the primary by tea party backed Mourdock (who made his own comments about rape), the Republicans very likely would have held that seat.
