Three reasons conservatives didn't win the Presidency:
1. The American people want a more socialistic economy.
2. Conservatives are intellectually and academically dumb (e.g., Todd Akin and other Teabrainers are too influential).
3. Obama is Black.
Proper responses to each:
1. Accept this reality as the choice of the American people, and focus on maintain non-economic factors, such as national heritage, national sovereignty, private right to arms, and respect for foundational ethnic and religious demographics (Whites and Christians).
2. Research matters before speaking on them, and admit that, "Well, I jes' kinda think..." is not high intellectual credibility.
3. Too late for this term, but try to crack White Liberal Guilt for next time.
