This is defined through the many ballot referendums on social issues which were voted on across the individual states!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Three<\/strong>, I believe it is evident that the Republican Party (or Republicanism), not conservatism, is what failed in this election.  The message of conservatism was not broadcast well from the Republican Party&#8217;s lead candidates.  I believe this to be true, not just through my observation of the campaign&#8217;s across the country, but more through individuals I&#8217;ve listened to over the past year, many I&#8217;ve known for years.  Many of these people are young, extremelly bright, self-motivated, hard working, and morally stout.  However, many of these people set aside these very ideals that I&#8217;ve come to know has defined them, many tentatively and with great contemplation, but all for a change that has the deep potential to change\/shift this country in a direction many would not hope for.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, Senator Obama won the election (if you were living under a rock).
