he did not. preferring to campaign the old fashioned way. by the way, stock market tanked today. down 313 points. in response to the vote. wall street worried about obama economics going forward. as far as moving the republic party further into the conservative precincts, the numbers simply aren t there. exit polling found that 35% of voters described themselves as conservative right now. 25% liberal, 41% moderate. so while the right is still powerful, ideology is not going to win the national election any longer. the president is indeed a liberal guy. but he ran as a populist. who wants to give working americans a break. his acolytes pushed the far left nonsense. he didn t, however, behind the scenes mr. obama embraced just about every far left cause. that is cause for concern. because in his final term,
bill: it worked to some extent. i don t think look, i think the single women vote would have gone for barack obama no matter what mitt romney did or anybody like mitt romney. you have got to go into the hispanic precincts there you can make some inroads. because that s more of a traditional community. let me ask you this. if the numbers say and they did at the exit polling yesterday that 35% of americans call themselves conservative, how can the conservative wing of the republic party believe that just with that base they can win? the numbers just aren t there. it s a very troubling and unfortunately a very good question. the numbers are not there. and that s why they have to look, all i m saying is that they have to figure out a way. i don t have the way right now. not tonight. they have to figure out a way to get to those latinos. to get to those women. to get to those young people and explain to them that an entitlement society, which is what the democrats proposed,
clear sort of mandate about people coming much closer to our view about how to deal with tax policy. i just think he it s going to take time for the republicans to sort of digest what the consequences are for them internally. what s your reaction to at least biden believing there was a mandate for their tax policy? it shows in our exit polling that a significant number of people were okay with a tax increase for people who make over $250,000. my perspective is elections have consequences, and to the winner there is a certainly significance that follows from it. when you look at the exit polls in particular with the one you just referenced, 60% of the voters sided with the president s position on raising taxes on those making more than $250,000 a year. at the end of the day the republicans are torn by multiple different voices with grover norquist being one of them and mitch mcconnell being another one. having worked on the hill and seeing on the senate and how it worked and how dysfu
the president and the democratic party. moving forward, the republican party and its candidates must expose and exploit those vulnerabilities. see, if you ask the anti-abortion activists, the only reason republicans lost this year, the only reason mitt romney is not president-elect right now, is because he was not anti-abortion enough. the group says, in its own internal polling of likely swing voters, that polling proves that the reason republicans did so poorly, is because republicans this year were not anti-abortion enough. which is funny, because actual exit polling from the actual election yesterday, shows that 59% of voters think that abortion should be legal in this country, which is the position of president obama and the majority of democratic candidates. and that is a 23-point advantage over the number of voters who think abortion should be illegal, which is the position of mitt romney and most republican candidates. so on an issue where two-thirds of the electorate thinks
