  1. Even if it is an electoral loss ,a popular majority against the incumbent is a big moral victory and will be very hard to construe as a mandate

  2. Too bad Mitt McCain couldn’t get support from the right wing Conservative base. Mitt was a terrible candidate. The GOP put 2 losers in a row. What a shame.
