How will republicans respond to this loss?

[Anonymous]

A. We need to think about a bigger tent and revise our stance on immigration.
B. Mitt Romney wasn't conservative enough.

Lawsuits.

Don't jinx it!

Lawsuits. Crying foul. Demanding recounts.

What they need to do? Kick out the tea party. Lay off the women and gays.

They have alienated every normal Republican. DH and I are independents that lean Republican and we voted Obama. I didn't even mind Romney--it is the machine and nut jobs in the party that I can't stomach.

It is time for them to stop catering to the freaks. I think they ill go even more conservative freaky and it is the death of them. Lee Atwater caused the demise of the party and all of he Evangelical freaks.

Make idiotic comments about body odor. Cry in their pillows.

They will blame the candidate. I have argued on this board that Romney was the logical outcome of the primary process.

They HAD to have someone who would toe the line on every conservative litmus test. AND they needed someone who could be electable. What does that leave, who can survive that process? Only someone who is so full of contradictions that he looks flawed and weak.

They will eat Mitt Romney ALIVE.

Look at the fucking debates and the total freaks hey turned out. Romney was the only semi-normal candidate. Bachmann, Perry, Santorum, Gingrich, Cain??!!?,! WTF has happened in the last 20 years to this party???

Electoral votes, dummy. Romney lost the states he would of had to carry...very unlikely he will get enough electoral votes with what is left to grab.

I'm flipping around, mostly watching Fox news (for the entertainment value-- man, Megan Kelly is painfully dumb). It's the only network that is still holding out hope for Romney.

There is a subset of republican presidential/talking heads who make a great deal of money by being the far right nuts. They don't really care about the issues, it's about making money off the crazies. Look at Newt, his run was worth $$$ to himself.

It is annoying that every news source now doesn't talk about/show what was expected to happen. As in, O has 148 votes now, but with safe blue states, this election is done. Just try to keep everyone watching, I guess. But it is annoying.

I'm watching CNN. Wolf's color guy is explaining how it's basically impossible for Mitt to come back in Florida, and how it's impossible for Mitt to win without Florida. The analysis of Ohio is similar, and likewise Virginia (although Mitt is currently ahead). Mitt needs all three of those and it now looks like he will get one of them. When Carville said it looks like this is pretty much over, the R strategist said, "I hate it when he's right."
