Who sold you that lie?
Obama 52.9%, McCain 45.7% doesn't compare to...
George HW Bush 53.4%, Dukakis 45.7%... although he was the VEEP before the '88 election... but then there's:
Eisenhower 55.2%, Stevenson 44.3% (1952, not 1956) and
FDR ('32) 57.4%, Hoover 39.7%...
Hoover 58.2%, Al Smith 40.8%...
Warren G Harding 60.3%, James Cox 34.1%...
and they were all were taking the White House from the opposition party... and those are just from the last 15 presidents!
ENOUGH! Stop it! All of this is besides the point.! Half or more of the posts to me have been on this issue.
The guy did not just squeak on by.
The guy has a lot of people behind him right now.
The guy would have tons more if people started talking CW!
The whole point of my original comment was stop with the CW nonsense. It makes us look ridiculous! And all anyone can focus on is my comments about the margin of victory.
Chairman Barry won by the largest number of voters and a decent % as well. More than Dubya did. And all of that is besides the point. I wish I had never raised it now!
The point is conservatives talking about a 2nd CW looks to the vast majority of America as lunatic fringe! If every single conservative in this country subscribed to that philosophy we’d still be out number almost 7 to 3. It’s not going to help us in 2010 or 2012.
