The Dems have a better chance of surviving than cockroaches. The GOP a-r-e a done deal.

I am amazed at the number of stories talking about the USA and/or Republican party/Democrat party "after Obama". There will not be a USA "after Obama". He is our Chavez and will be our dictator long before 2016. There will not be another election.

I´m confused. The headline seems to assume they might deserve to [survive].

I think America will survive and Conservatism will finally take control of the Republican Party...offering voters a way out of the Obama Depression.

I wish I could muster #4´s optimism. We are well down the road to destruction.

Nope. The Democrats own this country now. Their election fraud machine is entrenched and protected by law. They have installed Republicans they can "work with" and will keep them in place via that same election fraud until it is in their interests to allow different.

It doesn´t matter what the people want. It´s what the machine will give us.

And by the way - as a pro-lifer and being very defensive about arguments that women support the Democrats - I just want to ask, once you back out the fact that nearly every African-American voted for Zippy and that the African-American electorate is disproportionately positive (was it true this year?) then what remains of Obama´s supposed support from women? I don´t think he has any such thing. I think he had support from African Americans which confounded that calculation. How far ahead was he, without that effect?

oops I mean African-American electorate is disproportionately women. If true htis time as usual, it would bulk up the appearance of women voting for Obama when it was only the heavily-feminine African American voting bloc voting for Obama. So stay pro-life Pubbies.

The fact is demographics is almost literally going to be killing us. Our last chance was Romney, and that would only have put off the inevitable. Buy a gun and lots of ammo while you still can.

The nation will fracture. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." I just wonder where the fracture points will be?

Obama is now the nation´s Pharaoh, the lord and savior, the giver of all gifts, our master, the great shining star, and the the devil incarnate.

They will go down eventually because the people they choose which includes Hillary.

I pray America is strong enough to survive Obama, and pray too, the Democrats are not.

I think the Christians should read John 14.2. In My Father´s house are many Mansions. Do we want Christ´s return or a return to the status quo.

@13, America can survive obama, but America cannot survive the low I.Q. people who voted for him.

I share #4´s view that America will survive, and that conservatives will come to be seen as offering a very attractive alternative to the living hell that cometh.

A prolonged Obama Depression is almost certainly in the cards. Apparently that´s what 60,000,000 voters want. The other 57,000,000 of us will prevail in the end, but only after a lot of unnecessary suffering and tremendous damage to America.

This depends on if the electorate continues to act as if it flunked 1st grade, repeatedly. If you were stupid enough to reelect Obama in 2012 (and that´s even stupider on the stupid curve than voting Obama in 2008) then how in the world are you going to be smart enough not to vote for the next Democrat Jim or Jill Jones who comes along in 2016? Answer: you will blindly vote Democrat, no matter how awful they are. Or rather, especially if they are awful.

It will take more than brilliant conservative politicians to reverse the course we are now on. A return to God is the only thing that will save America. Unfortunately, 9/11 wasn´t terrible enough to wake most Americans. It certainly wasn´t enough to shake up Washington and their politics as usual.

Too many are now dependent on the government. They won´t change.

News for Mr. Young. Moves might already be afoot to make sure there is no such thing as ´after 0bama´. Time to wake up!

Obama´s racial component is only part of the mix. the fact he has no moral authority at all is the main reason the left loves him.They hate republicans making moral judgments on them.They pushed pot as some sort of medicine,creating the impression among kids that it´s harmless.Making smoking pot in itself is harmless but it´s going to create armies of dysfunctional society participants,especially in the workforce.Somebody will get stuck with the upkeep on these people but it´s been a great inroad for the left to get more white voters.

Everything looked bleak for the GOP after Goldwater´s 1964 landslide defeat -- and then the GOP won 5 of the next 6 Presidential elections.

Nixon looked invincible after his 49-state landslide victory in 1972 -- and by 1974 he was gone.

One way or another, things change.

Yes, and Lincoln won the Civil War....and then a Democrat stepped in.
