Post-Election Rumblings
It’s good to know that the Republicans are taking a close look at the 2008 election. As I’ve said before, it was obviously a protest vote. It’s easy to back this when you look at the conservative voting trend of the ballot issues. Recent Republican studies are starting to show that America still remains a center-right nation. However, I don’t think they are really seeing that it was a reaction to the Bush administration.
“A conservative non-profit organization has completed a study that shows the liberal tsunami on Election Day 2008 was not because the country wanted to move radically to the left, but because voters wanted to punish Republicans for abandoning conservative principles.”
I can’t really see how they came to that conclusion. People voted liberal because the Republicans aren’t conservative enough? Please explain the logic in that to me.
In other news, it looks like Sara Palin got the point as she openly blamed the Bush administrations policies for the weak GOP showing. I guess it’s rather obvious now that she is gearing up for a 2012 run. Dispite the liberal media’s horrific spin on her, I think she is a solid candidate and certainly has the experience needed to make a future run on her own. I’m not sure if she is the best person to put up against Obama in four years, but it’s good that she is getting a head start. In fact, it’s good for the Republicans to learn from what the Democrats did in 2004. The time to start grooming a couple of good candidates for a ’12 run is now. The 2008 campaign was in full swing starting in ’06. The Republicans need to be well prepaired to hit the ground running in 2010.
