Many were waiting for the Maha Rushie's response to last night's shellacking, including myself. So...without further ado...
"Last night is why, for 25 years, I and numerous others have been begging Republicans candidates 'just be conservative'. Just go out there and espouse conservatism, go out there and espouse conservative principles and ideas, and relate them to policy and life and culture, and you cannot lose."
"Mitt Romney was not one cliche last night. That's why they're all saying 'Well, who was this guy?' Half of YOU were probably saying, 'Who was this guy?' 'Where's this guy been?' 'This guy's better than his own campaign!'..."
"Last night could be every day in this country. If every elected Republican went about his day as Mitt Romney went about 90 minutes last night, every day in America could be last night."
"[Liberals'] entire campaign blew up in their face last night... Last night was not a sporting event. Last night was a discussion about the future of our country, and it was conducted brilliantly by Mitt Romney... Obama didn't lose because 'he didn't show up'... He lost because his ideas don't cut it."
