They need to move back toward Ronald Reagan and be a party of true conservative principles. Every time they run a candidate with moderate proposals
or credentials, they lose, and it happened again last night. They need to regroup, kick the RINOs out of the party and get back to true
conservatism.
The popular vote totals and exit polling data from last night back this up. Democrats had a 39-33% lead in party affiliation, which was the margin
of victory. However, for all this talk of overwhelming turnout and 130-140M voters nationwide, only about 118M appear to have shown up, less
than in 2004. Again, in exit polling, we see that whites, who usually vote 55%+ for Republicans did so last night...however, they made up the
lowest percentage of the electorate ever: 75%. They were 79% in 2006. Given that overall turnout was down, it is clear that this is not a case
of minority population growth overwhelming the Republican vote.
No, the GOP vote simply did not show up. All those right-leaning voters that McCain has alienated over the years finally came back to haunt him last
night.
