A FULL ANALYSIS OF THE 2008 ELECTION INDICATES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S NEED TO RESTORE ITS COMMITMENT TO CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES & PRACTICES OF GOVERNMENT.  THE NUMBERS BEAR OUT THE FACT THAT AMERICANS STILL SUPPORT TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES & ARE LOCATED CENTER-RIGHT ON THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM.  BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS THE CANDIDATE OF SPECIAL INTERESTS, MUCH MORE SO THAN WAS JOHN SIDNEY MCCAIN.   ADOPTION & IMPLEMENTATION OF OBAMA'S TAX POLICIES COULD VERY WELL BE A MAJOR SOURCE OF HIS UNDOING WHEN HE RUNS FOR RELECTION IN 2012.  IN FINAL PERSPECTIVE, THE NUMBERS DO NOT SUPPORT THE CLAIM THAT OBAMA'S ELECTION VICTORY WAS A LANDSLIDE.
