The LA Times nailed it this morning when it said;
Obama was reelected by a coalition representing what the United States is becoming. Sure, a lot of aging, parochial white people do not like it – they do not like gays getting married or Latinos getting a chance at citizenship or urban liberals telling them that we are not just a nation of self-reliant cowboys, but a diverse, multiracial society that needs to be more tolerant and economically egalitarian.
...
That does not mean a conservative cannot become president. A pragmatic fiscal conservative with an enlightened view of immigration and a tolerant attitude on social issues could do quite well.
...
Republicans say they love America. For their own sake, and for the sake of the country, they need to start showing a little love for the new USA – the USA that just gave President Obama four more years.
