    ... a few of your points deserve comment.
    -- While I don't think Sarah Palin herself cost us votes, the relentless smear-image of her created by the media certainly did.  There are just too many people (especially women) saying that they were inclined to vote for McCain, until he nominated Mizz Sarah.  When you pin them down, it turns out they usually felt that way over the liberal slander-of-the-day, which could be refuted.. but not all of them, and they were legion.
    -- The Republican establishment (and especially its self-appointed conservative wing) busied itself last winter defecating on and tossing out libertarian-minded Republicans.  Said establishment has now lost.  Maybe it's time to start listening to the Ron Paul Republicans, who can offer a genuinely intelligent, optimistic way forward.
    -- Minority/Wayne County outreach will be a tough nut to crack indeed.  The Dems can offer them a message of more government programs, "spreading the wealth around," and blaming somebody else for your problems.  Are lower taxes, less government, and self-reliance really gonna sell in Wayne County?
    McCain prided himself on avoiding any race-based messages, and it brought him nothing but a consession speech.  Meanwhile, Obama was grabbing 80 and 90% black vote totals, with no one hinting that this was a "racist" appeal.  We need to do more than hint.  Perhaps if someone had the un-PC courage to yell at us: "America, you're supporting a black, socialist liberal with a Moslem name -- ARE YOU F-ING NUTS?!?!?!" it could have woken us up in time.
