I'm just scribbling notes here on the loss of the election. It sucks because I'm finding it very difficult to concentrate through the fog. So I've collected a lot of other people's opinions HERE, and posted my initial thoughts HERE.
But just to highlight the magnitude of the problem ahead of conservatives, I wanted to throw some things I've been thinking about on the blog here and see where things went. I don't know about you, but until I've tried to list the factors, I can't think effectively about the problem. And from the lists below, it's clear we have a lot of thinking to do.
Remind me of anything I've overlooked in comments, and I'll add it in.
