State GOP chairman discusses Romney’s loss
By Josh Richman
Tuesday, November 6th, 2012 at 11:15 pm in 2012 presidential election, Republican Party, Republican politics.
Here’s California Republican Party Chairman Tom Del Beccaro’s statement on what happened tonight:
“While tonight wasn’t the result we had hoped and worked for, it is clear that many Americans are dissatisfied with the president.
“Republicans are losing the prosperity/capitalism argument. The inability of Republicans to make the case, at every level, for tax reform and to successfully articulate that a welfare state can’t succeed and the true engine of growth is a vigorous free enterprise system is at the root of this loss. The core value of our heritage is being lost. We must and can get it back.
“It is now up to Republicans in Congress, who must every day be a real reform party. They must work to offer true reform of government programs and drive the agenda.
“Unfortunately, Governor Romney was not aggressive enough in making this case and that ultimately led to tonight’s disappointing outcome. But with the help of of our committed and tireless volunteers, we can turn this around.
“I would like to thank all of the volunteers here in California and throughout the nation that kept this race so close.”

When Republicans put someone with good ideas like Gary Johnson,who I voted for,on their ticket, they will win outside the Bible belt. The country is getting more liberal, while the Republicans insist on forced child bearing. Abortion is a sad subject. Banning abortion scares many people.

I think Gary Johnson may have cost Romney a couple of states, but not enough to change the election outcome.

@2 – The only state I see where Johnson might have had enough votes to tip the balance is Florida, which is still counting anyway.

Here’s the real reason Romney lost — not enough people like Elwood in the voting population!

And what makes you think I’m white?

@3
Yeah, you’re right Josh. I had looked at it last night when Obama’s margin was thinner in a couple of states.

@6 –
Prove you’re not.

@ 8
You can’t prove a negative, fool.
Everybody knows that.
Except you, apparently.
November 7th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
@9 –
So you can’t prove you’re not (white), so you are (white), until you prove you’re not (white).
Who’s the fool for walking into THAT one, eh?
November 7th, 2012 at 8:36 pm
@ 10
See #9
Ever heard of logic, fool?
Apparently not.
