Well saints be praised. Sasha? You made sense (with the sole exception of voting for McCain).

Are you biracial or black?

Actually, Z, I said the same thing here about the results of the ‘04 and ‘06 elections, as far as people needing to take a long hard look at why they lost.
Off the top of my head:

Republicans got caught and smeared with scandals that only Democrats can get away with

McCain-Feingold CFR came back to bite McCain in the butt

McCain (for whom I had to hold my nose and vote) became an MSM media darling/useful idiot because he did things that undermined the Republican held Senate (Gang of 14) and Bush, whom the media hated for “stealing” the 2000 election. The media propped him up long enough to outlast the other primary contenders and secure the nomination, and turned on him.

Republicans began to spend money with careless abandon (they had earmarks as well).

McCain announces he’s pulling out of Michigan (I’m from MI so it’s a sore spot with me)

Who is the head of the RNC and why have we not heard of him/her/it? Obvious lack of leadership.

I could go on, but it’s clear to me there has been a lack of leadership and conservative drift in the GOP.

While I didn’t vote for him, I recognize the situation for what it is. Obama has four years to do something, and unlike a lot of people eight years ago, I’m willing to give him a chance to succeed/fail. And there are 535 other people who need to be held accountable for the way they’re voting.

Uggg, as far as I can tell President Elect Obama will easily exceed Republican expectations and the Democrats will be fine in 2010. (You guys are basically setting the expectations so low that President Obama can’t fail even if he’s the moron you think he it)

You guys haven’t yet looked inward as to why the Republicans lost control of the Executive and Legislative branches.

The Republicans are screwed for a LONG time to come.
