"We have a Latino problem that just cost us the election," Republican strategist Michael Murphy told NBC's Brian Williams last night.

This statement rivals Carl Rove's late-night futile whining about the Ohio numbers as one of the biggest examples of political denial following the 2012 election.

Murphy is right that the GOP has "a Latino problem" (and isn't that phrasing so telling?), but his comment is such a vast understatement as to be rank denial. The Republican party has a much broader problem than the Latino vote.

Republican strategists are now yammering on relentlessly about how the GOP needs to retool it's message to Latinos. Everyone knows that Latinos are the fastest-growing minority in America, and courting them as a voting bloc is an obvious winning strategy for the future. Well, duh, Karl & company. When did you notice?

1. That's not the only problem

They have an African American problem.

They have an Asian American problem.

They have an under 30 voter problem.

They really need to wake the hell up and realize they are not in Mayberry, Pleasantville.

The stupidity is astonishing!

2. Unfortunately for Mitt the women escaped from their binders -

and we voted to keep our rights.
