NO REPUBLICAN would have won in 2008.

The economy was in bad shape. Bush destroyed the economic gains of the 1980s and 1990s

The only Republicans that would have won in ‘08 would be John Elway or George Allen, celebrities.

Check your facts.It was the Community Reinvestment Act (Passed in 1977) and Attorney Corporal Reno's warning that lenders would find the full weight of the US Government would descend upon any mortgage lender who dared deny any mortgage application from a "person of color"

Don’t believe it. If you recall he was about to catch Obama when the bank liquidity crisis hit in September. Then McCain clammed up tight All he had to do was finish, but he shut his stupid mouth. Romney rolled over, too, after a very good first debate. It was like they both were taking orders to crown Obama king.

Probably true but McCain really didn’t want the job.
All he wanted was power and he got it if he won or lost.

I disagree. Even McCain, after picking Palin, had a good shot of winning, until his performance when the economy imploded. Then he deferred to Obama on the solution, then told all of us he would be a fine President, he undercut Palin and yelled at his supporter for using Obama’s full name. Which Obama always did once he was elected. He lost by 5 points or so, and all of those came around that time. And no telling how bad the fraud was.

A good candidate could have won by a lot. Obama was so outside the mainstream, so radical, tied to muslims and communists and America haters, all anyone needed to do was hammer that all day every day. And have a decent, market oriented approach to the collapse of the market. But, even McCain could have won, had he done things differently those last two months.
