Steve's barking did O win or did Mitt lose

Of cause O won and Mitt lost, I just read it in the paper and heard it on the telly.
That's not what I mean, was O strategy or Mitt's stupidity the reason for the presidential results after all the house stayed Republican by a large margin. The president bring Democrats with him seems marginal.
This being said if I was a Republican, especially in a leadership position I would put earplugs in  my ears.

I would not have a one size fits all Latino strategy. I would treat Cuban Americans differently then Mexican Americans, Dominican Americans, and PR Americans. I defiantly would make sure that my candidate did not make fun of one of these ethnic groups. (If I was born a Mexican I would be president, so said Romney)
Now that I've gotten ahead of myself, my prejudice being notes that these Latino groups have problems with each other ( just like the Irish had problems with the English).
 The Democrats in this election used women social issues just like the Republicans used social issues in the past. My advice to the would be to the Republicans measure your words.* Example: If my wife or my daughter was raped and had become pregnant by this rape, it would be the most agonizing thing for me but my family would not be murders, I'm sure my wife, daughter would agree that they would carry out to term even if we I had to put said child I for adoption.  We are not murderers You can't turn your back on your base.
 When running for office measure your words, even at fund raisers Example if Mitt Romney had said I know that 47% will not vote for me because there jealous of success, this wouldn't have been used against him and he would have put his point across to his donors.

Now lets get to the party of me and my family.
O's people had a great strategy as pouring money and  resources into close states that could have gone either way. It helped that Romney didn't explain himself very well, and pissed off some major corporations.
I'm thinking Kraft and Chrysler.

Now I'm thinking about the Democratic party. Everybody who is getting and has gotten food stamps should be voting and voting democratic. How come they don't do well in Kentucky.
How come they can't bring older voters to vote against Republican congress people by showing generation warfare in Medicare that was written into the house budget. Ending Medicare as we know it.
I understand that there is the end of major subsidies that Republican districts get in the budget, these weren't addressed by the Democrats to my understanding.

Why didn't the president attack congress the Harry Truman did?

What I like about the president is some of the bold moves he did make.
During the 2008 campaign and Hilary and John using conventional wisdom stated that we should not collect gas tax because of the high price of oil, candidate Obama said we shouldn't suspend them this didn't hurt him in the slightest, if I'm not mistaken his electability went up.  
When as president he did away with don't ask don't tell allowing homosexuals to serve openly  tell and openly stated that he had no objection to same sex marriage the conventional wisdom was he was committing political suicide because two of his key constitutions were against it. What really happened was the floodgates were opened up and money came pouring in. The Republicans didn't try to take advantage of the dislike of these key constitutions and they voted over overwhelmingly for the president. 
 
.* To write like that show how challis  I am some times.
In no way everything written in this particular blog is true to my soul.
