The skin of our teeth

Below is a compilation of comments collected from media political reports in the last week. Question: What do all the commenters have in common?

“Romney, take responsibility for being flawed candidate, w/delusional campaign w/no vision.”

“I don’t want to rebut him point by point. I would just say to you, I don’t believe that we have millions and millions of people in this country that don’t want to work.”

“We’ve got to give our political organization a very serious proctology exam.”

"I absolutely reject that notion. I don’t think that represents where we are as a party. We have got to stop dividing the American voters.”

“There’s got to be a positive reason to support Republicans.”

"Most of today’s Republicans understand that they need to decontaminate their brand."

"We have a period of reflection and recalibration ahead for the Republican Party. Clearly we have work to do in the weeks and months ahead."

“You can’t expect to be a leader of all the people and be divisive.”

“He’s not going to be running for anything in the future.”

“He never developed an emotional foothold within the GOP so he can exit the stage anytime and no one will mourn.”

"The 47 percent comments represent both a fundamental misunderstanding of the country, they offer a constricted vision of the Republican party and the potency of a big tent conservative message."

“It shows a huge misreading of the electoral landscape. A rather elitist misread. Where does he think his votes came from in rural America?”

"I'd like to see Romney and his team go out gracefully. (Yes, that requires actually... going away.)"

What do all the commenters have in common? They all voted for Mitt Romney. Reading their comments today says something about the size of the bullet all of us in this country dodged Nov. 6.
