I think we owe a debt of gratitude to Neil Newhouse and Dean Chambers for convincing them that the election was a done deal because the polls were obviously wrong (with no shred of evidence of that) and to all the Mormon crazies who fed them the White Horse prophecy that one of the most evil predatory capitalists this country has been scourged with was already anointed by gawd to ascend to the presidency and make us all moral again. They all bought Romney's inevitability as president and none of them prepared for the contingency of his loss.
Not only did they wake up on the morning of November 7 and realize they'd been lied to and the polls were accurate, they'd also been abandoned by the gawd who was supposed to swoop down and save everybody's bacon.
There is some party soul searching going on and they're even questioning some of the social hogwash since women abandoned them in droves. Unfortunately, it still hasn't dawned on them that their economic philosophy has utterly failed in practice and has served only to maximize misery.
They will continue to point fingers and come up with bogus reasoning for their loss, of course, but the two lies they bought--that the polls were skewed and that the gawd who set the stars and planets into motion meddled in everyday human affairs--has shaken their faith in the workings of an orderly universe. It's a real crisis of faith for everyone in that party, whether they admit it or not.
It's the perfect time for Obama to break out that steamroll.
