Republican South Carolina Mark Sanford penned the following item for CNN.com. Well worth a read:
For all Americans, this election represents another glass ceiling broken, and in the words of my 16-year-old, “That’s very cool.” The election of the first black president is an inspiring and transformational moment for our country.

Beyond the presidential race, it goes without saying the Republican Party took a shellacking nationally. Some on the left will say our electoral losses are a repudiation of our principles of lower taxes, smaller government and individual liberty. But Tuesday was not in fact a rejection of those principles — it was a rejection of Republicans’ failure to live up to those principles.
