A discussion on what it takes to beat the president
http://www.redstate.com/2012/11/07/to-beat-the-president/
"In 2008, faced with an entrenched consultant class within the Democratic Party, Barack Obama put his team and it was his team in Chicago. Mitt Romney relied on the usual suspects still in good standing with the campaign from the last time and now.
It did not work out.
To beat an incumbent President is historically a near impossible task. Romneys campaign operation made it even more impossible. Thats just the reality.
It has nothing to do with a rejection of much of anything, but Republicans should now reject that model."
WRONG!!!
1 comment hit the nail on the head...
"We didn't lose because we had the wrong candidate, we lost because the republican brand has become toxic among minorities all across the country. Obama received nearly 70% of the Hispanic vote, as well as over 90% of the African American vote. Particularly worrisome is the fact the young minority voters supported Obama by over 20% points. Bottom line is the demographics of the nation have changed....republicans can no longer win overwhelmingly among white voters, yet do so poorly among Hispanics and expect to win a national election."

The comments are worth a read if you have the time. Some have a true grasp while others are still in denial and want the same old, same old.
