I get it now! All those liberal out of work coal miners and factory workers whose government dictated that it was in their interests to have their jobs outsourced. How did those conservative candidates Romney and McCain do?

I don't think either are very conservative, McCain especially. Both are more to the center. Romney was in a tough position as governor because of Massachusetts being such a heavy Democrat state (right now, for example, Republicans control 34 of the 160 seats in the house and 5 of the 40 senate seats), but McCain has not been a trustworthy vote in the Senate and has often backed down on key bills.
