Sneak Peak.

Rather than an admission of failure,
this is a preview of how they'll spin the upcoming loss:

Racism (naturally).

The decision to carry the banner for conservative white America paid off in the midterm elections — helped enormously, of course, by a dismal economy under a Democratic president and a Democratic Congress, as well as conservative hostility to the administration’s health care program and economic stimulus legislation.
...
Another way of looking at it is this: fully 88.8 percent of all ballots cast in 2010 for House Republicans were cast by whites, compared to 63.9 percent for Democrats.

The degree to which the Republican Party has become a white party is also reflected in the composition of primary voters.
...
Now, moving toward what has all the markings of a historic ideological and demographic collision on Nov. 6, 2012, Republicans are doubling down on this racially fraught strategy.

While the subject of race and of the overwhelmingly white Republican primary electorate are never explicitly discussed by Republican candidates, the issue is subsumed in blatant anti-immigration rhetoric.

...
The major threat to the Republican “white” strategy is a revival of the high turnout among minorities that carried Democrats to victory in 2008. Republicans, however, are taking advantage of their newly won control of state governments across the country to enact laws designed to suppress minority turnout.
...
Liberal groups, including the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University Law School, estimate that as many as five million men and women will be unable to vote because of these laws, which disproportionately affect minority voters.

With less than a year to go until the election, poll data suggest that the Republican “white” strategy has a chance of working...

Dear G-d, please protect us from such stupidity. "Analysis" like this couldn't cut it coming from a ten-cent gumball machine.

We'll rip the country apart, shred the fabric, to stir up racial animosity ... simply because the more liberal pundits refuse to believe, that when you measure in terms of results -- black and white -- this First Black President simply has failed to perform. What's touted as his "successes" cost more than they are worth, and despite the professorial law degree, have overstepped the Constitution.

We're unbalanced, budget-wise, and we're continuing to sacrifice our futures to pay out in social entitlement programs those who would not fall at all, if we pulled their "safety net".

Truth be told,
we need someone who is not afraid to come in, and gut the heart out of many of these programs. Trim, and be unpopular for it, in order to protect and preserve our tomorrows. Who does that sound like to you?

Well ... Mitt Romney never much cared for being popular, I don't think... He has character, which the Clinton team lacked, and you know something? Most people don't give a damn how he and his family choose to privately vacation. Canada over DisneyWorld? Eh.

Now maybe, if the dog atop the car carrier had actually... died en route. But he didn't. He lived to bark again. To me, that particular episode comes off as painting Romney like Chevy Chase in Vacation. Again, you don't have to like the guy to estimate that he'd be a much much more effective leader than the First Black Man to take office...

Clearly, the libs brought this about themselves, when they pushed for a candidate based on identity purposes, and not experience or efficiency or ... leadership abilities, or anything really to show somebody has a hand on the helm during these hard times...

Best that he, and his wife, soak up as much travel abroad in the coming months as they can. Something tells me, the perks for travelling as President are much more rewarding than the perks of travelling as a former U.S. president. Not that Bill Clinton's done too poorly for himself, but then again, he has helped the wife and daughter build their careers through connections and the sympathy thing.

Something tells me though, eventually people will turn on them too. If you talk the talk, but then can't really walk the walk ... (I thought ole Chels was gonna be like mama -- devote herself via the masters' in healthcare to... managing healthcare issues. Whoda thunk she'd go the celebrity journolist route?)

Again, I don't predict these things, just get out there, take the temperature of those who aren't exactly in teh Beltway loop, and observe. What I'm seeing online today is fear: fear and loathing that white people who refuse to go along with the mirage of greatness, may just up and elect the incumbent out.

And (naturally) we'll rip the country up with our race-based accusations if it comes to that. Dear G-d...
