well, I voted for him and have no problem saying that I did. Maybe the guy who ran bushism will convert and do the same thing for Obama. who knows.

not sure who on here listens to XM - but POTUS 2008 has been an interesting station to listen to. I think it has been really interesting to here them break down the election and how the respective parties chose to handle this election.

the gist of it has been how the DNC decided to really stretch the map and were clearly successful in doing so. The RNC seemed to have missed the boat on this and it evidently really cost them.

I have heard much how the RNC needs to really refocus the conservative message and make it more palatable to everyone. The hate mongering and messages about fear just did not work this time. It clearly turned people off. That message was clearly here on these boards and continues to be here.

Every negative comment that is made just reaffirms my opinion of the Republican Party. I guess in part you just cannot help it - it has been such a conditioned response for the last 8 years. Bush was the master of using fear to rule. I still love how everytime his approval ratings went down - the terror threat went up. He must really have thought everyone was a clueless as he was.

The comments about Obama being Muslim was such a turn off and simply reinforce the ignorant bias that all Muslims are terrorists. The comments about trends to socialism are also based on fear and ignorance and I think much ado about nothing. It seems the general trend in both the house and senate are to be more central and I don't think Pelosi is going to have all the power she thinks she is going to have. Most say (other than some republicans) that the choice of Emanuel is a good choice. He is very hard nosed but for all the prattle about his partisanship - he is a moderate centrist democrat and from the articles I read indicate that the far left is not happy with him as the chief of staff. Much better choice than Daschle would have been.

The RNC has essentially two years to get it together if they want to bring people back and maybe they will learn from this election and the missteps they had along the way.
