Wrong. In 1960, New York had 43 reps and California had 30. Today, they have 27 and 53 respectively.

Math isn’t your thing, huh?

73 < 80 (Seventy Three is less than Eighty) The house had 435 in 1960 as well.

It’s definitely not over, but the party has to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it before the 2014 elections.

Who do you want to eliminate from the tent to win back those “moderates?” That does seem to be what you are implying.

In 2008 Obama received 69 million and change votes
In 2012 results as of today show that he received 62 million and change votes. While Romney received 59 million and change.

So no he didn’t receive 10 million fewer votes it was only about 7 million fewer votes.

Dems are whining that they only won 5 of 18 House seats in PA this year. But when they only have two seats that are entirely within Philadelphia, that is what happens. They’re also the victims of their own schemes, they drag low-IQ people to the polls and give them cards saying OBAMA, so all they voted for was Obama.

This.

Explains a lot of why state houses and down-ticket races didn’t get the same “Wave” 0bama got. I wonder how many ballots this year were marked only for Presidential and Senatorial races?

We own the House, Obama lost 10 million votes from his 2010 totals, we won independents, and 60 million of us came out for Romney, and I’m supposed to believe its over?

Obama did not lose 10 million from his 2008 totals. Romney won independents narrowly, but lost moderates by a massive margin. The GOP lost seats in the Senate and House.

It’s definitely not over, but the party has to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it before the 2014 elections.

While California and New York are two of the three most populous states in the country, it is important to note that the number of representatives from the two states collectively has remained relatively flat over the last 50 years.
