Face it. The forces of Free Enterprise lost the Presidency and eroded a bit in the US Senate.
The one bright spot in the post-election results is the Republican majority in the US House of Representatives has been maintained. Perhaps they will hold firm in their resolve to increase opportunities available under our unique Free Enterprise system.
All the hand wringing by the pundits, the campaign consultants, and journos about how the election was lost; How this position should pivot and how this messaging should change completely miss the mark. Bottom line, we were out organized by the Community Organizer in Chief. In essence, the ground battle was lost.
Do not despair. The Free Enterprise coalition has much work to do before the 2014 mid-terms. That coalition of Reganites, Tea Party Patriots, Libertarians, Conservatives, Entreprenuers, Small Business Owners, and Free Enterprise Republicans can all work feverishly in the coming months to gain elective ground in the forthcoming elections.
We should all be bouyed by the fact that the majority of the American people (53% to 41% according to exit polls) oppose big government. That plays well into our core beliefs of fiscal responsibility, Constitutional limited government, and Free market economics.
The hard work begins now.
Embrace your "inner-activist" and begin organizing. Piece together study groups, breakfast groups, lunch groups, and other organized "clubs" that can provide the leadership and muscle for an electoral victory. The overriding goal should be veto proof majorities in the House (288) and Senate (66).
One reason the left in this country is sucessful is that there is rampant economic illiteracy among the electorate. The forces of Free Enterprise must educate the populace on free market economics and how it alone can provide the opportunities possible to lift people out of poverty and despair.
For all the supposed work the Community Organizer in Chief did when he was organizing on the West and South side of Chicago, those communities still are breeding grounds of violence, joblessness, hopelessness, and despair.
Our forces must also provide education programs that teach the values of Liberty and Constitutional Government. Yes, there are a number of fine progams offered by numerous organizations, but they should be promoted to a much wider audience.
Perhaps those that supported the Romney-Ryan campaign directly and through 527 PACs should consider appropriating funds for an educational campaign that reaches a large audience through DVD and/or monograph. It would be a first step in educating the hard working people of our Republic. Don't count on the schools, colleges, and universites to do it. Many are hotbeds of socialist insurrection.
As Edmund Burke wrote:
"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a comtemptible struggle".
Our time is now. We must organize, educate, and engage to save this glorious Nation and vibrant system of Free Enterprise.

Election Day 2010 Observations
The U.S. Senate
It’s possible that the Delaware Senate seat will not be needed for Republicans to wrestle control of that deliberative body. The Republican candidate will not lose because she is the conservative witch of the east, as the dead-tree media will lead you to believe. She will lose because she became winy during the final week of the campaign and did not hold her opponent, the bearded Marxist, Mr. Coons, feet to the fire.
Based on polls in the closing days of the election, I am inclined to believe that the Senate will be comprised of 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans with crazy Uncle Joe Biden casting the deciding vote on important issues.
Campaigns’ Closing Days
Did you notice that President Obama and V.P. Biden spent much of the closing days of the campaign in deep blue states. This is a strong indication that the dems are in deep doo doo. Normally, a party’s base would have already been secured. From there the campaign would then circle out to marginal areas to secure close races. The internal polls must have showed something different.
2012
Believe it or not, the campaign for President begins the day after today’s election. Obama is already down six electoral votes from the 2008 contest, based upon census estimates. Texas alone is expected to gain four congressional seats. Consequently, four additional electoral votes for 2012 will be added to Texas’ 34. California on the other hand will not gain any for the first time in decades. Should Obama run for re-election the swing states he won in 2008 would be major battlegrounds in 2012.
Re-apportionment
If it turns out to be a Republican Tsunami today, you can almost bank on the fact that the Republicans will control the House for the next decade. Many states will elect Republican governors today and help them with split or fully controlled legislatures. This is the democrat’s worse nightmare. The Republicans are likely to put in play more geographically reasonable re-districting maps. Gone will be the gerrymandered districts that the Democrats love to carve out.
It will all be fun to watch, read, and listen to tonight.
