Arizona’s 9th Congressional District Won By Bisexual Woman by Deborah Montesano:

Republican Talking Heads Call For Continued Obstruction by Ann Werner:
The re-election of Barack Obama to the presidency is not sitting well with those on the far right. Rather than accepting the loss of the 2012 election and acknowledging that the candidates they ran, the policies they espouse and their lock-step obstructionist tactics in Congress not only failed but alienated most voters, they are taking a page from their failed play book and doubling down.

Norquist – Obama Won On The Basis That Romney Was A ‘Poopyhead’ (VIDEO) by Kimberley Johnson:
One thing that is crystal clear—Republicans are having a very difficult time with reality.

The ‘Grand Old Party’ Is In Trouble, May Never Understand Why by Lorelei:
There’s something to be said for not interrupting your opponent when he is actively making a mistake. It is also generally frowned upon when we give “aid and comfort to the enemy.” So, why are progressives (and some moderate fiscal-conservative pundits) telling the GOP exactly where they went wrong?

Applebee’s Tries To Spin Back Into Consumers’ Good Graces by Anjali Sareen:
To the more dubious eye, this simply seems like a case of public conservatism gone horribly wrong. Maybe Tankel did speak completely of his own accord.
