I am not trying to measure the drapes for WH windows but the fat lady is quite ready to sing.
However, unlike many a media pundits, i don't think the Obama victory will change the GOP. They will never accept a democratic Presidential victory.
Below the fold, i list the top 10 reasons that will be uttered by GOP to delegitimize Obama's victory.
The dems need a messaging strategy as soon as the election is over. What will it be?
10 ways GOP will de-legitimize Obama's victory:
1. He did not win as many states as 2008
2. He had a lower number of Electoral votes
3. He hit 53.5% last time around. Anything less than 55% is no-OK for them
4. Nothing less than 73 million will do for the republicans (69 mn last time!)
5. Number of white voters is lesser than last time
6. Carved a higher number of minorities - Hispanic, African American, Asian American
7. Mitt Romney was not a blue-blooded conservative. He didn't allow Paul Ryan to be Paul Ryan
8. Any of Media / Unions / College Kids / Single Moms / Govt dependent folks colluded and robbed GOP
9. Socialist / Marxist / Facist / Kenyo-Colonial / Muslim
10. Saint Romney. 49 states / 525 EVs is the standard and Obama didn't meet it
Hence., Obama lacks a mandate and we will not co-operate
