I'm seeing this more and more, in the GOP, sore losers.
Especially in Teabagger factions.
Todd Akin blames the media for his loss, says he was absolutely correct in his statements about "legitimate" rape.
Chris McDaniel wants a "do over" in the primary that he lost.
Alan Keyes is demanding that Obama, (who beat him in a Senate race,) be impeached for "lawlessness" and because he says so.
(Well, he hasn't given any real reasons)
Grampy McCain and Quitterella Palin are still mad that they lost badly in 2008.
(Odd, I don't see Romney or Ryan throwing these same tantrums...)

(16,423 posts)On a subconscious level, voters first and foremost want politicians that get shit done. Judging them by ideology comes in at a close second.
Let the Republicans complain. Let them cry about the past and all the things that are bad because of Obama and those liberal communist Nazis.
The Democrats should tout their successes and talk about the future. What they have done and what they hope to do.
