Exit Poll Media Shocker: Conservatives Still Outnumber Liberals
  …there has been virtually no change to the percentage of folks claiming to be liberal or conservative in their political ideology since 2004. McCain only got 78 percent of the conservative vote. And, he only received 89 percent of the Republican vote.

Conservative Movement ‘Will Rise Again,’ Veteran Activist Pledges
  Phyllis Schlafly says the conservative movement needs to start over again – from the beginning. …we need to pick up the pieces of the movement, which was so badly dismantled and put in disarray by the George W. Bush administration. Schlafly lays the blame for Tuesday’s defeat of the McCain-Palin ticket – and a decline in the fortunes of the conservative movement – at the feet of the Bush administration. “The disarray of the conservative movement is the fault of George W. Bush and his advisor Karl Rove,” Schlafly said. “I guess it turned out that he was not a conservative after all. He was a big government, big spending, globalist, ‘New World Order’-type of Republican. “Sarah Palin is certainly a rising star – she was a breath of fresh air, and a lot of excitement to the conservative movement. I think she is a genuine conservative,” Schlafly added.

The media is unconsciously revealing what may be a major reason we should be concerned about the …the phrase ‘President Barack Obama.’
  The world is salivating at the prospect of appeasement, and that will be Obama’s number one foreign policy platform. What is the overriding theme to these headlines? An Obama administration benefits other nations, but not necessarily the United States. Just check out these Election Day headlines… What is the overriding theme to these headlines?

Buchanan: Immigration Will Prevent Pendulum From Swinging Back
  His very first words on the matter this morning explain why: “demography is destiny.” …the country is becoming more Hispanic, more African-American, more minority, immigrants.  These folks come in, 90% poor, not well-educated: they look to government. I mean, the idea of small government is not one that has—it has an appeal to a diminishing number of Americans.  The Reagan Democrats are dying out.

Palin Shows ‘Culture War’ Is Over? – Not
  In his monthly column for The Washington Post, Peter Beinart of The New Republic argues that Sarah Palin has demonstrated that the appeal of social conservatism is flagging: “Palin’s brand is culture war, and in America today culture war no longer sells. Ramesh Ponnuru very effectively rebuts this on The Corner. The Republican Party has been running on cultural indifference, or even cultural surrender.
