Obama would never have happened if the Republicans had fielded a real candidate in 2008. They thought we might like Songbird No-name McPain. Had it been someone Reaganesque, (and had there been no voter fraud), Obama wouldn’t have won but 1 or 2 states.
The 2008 election was purposely thrown by the Repukes. McStain didn’t even try to nor intend to win. Plus fraud. And even more fraud in 2012, one devoted FReeper whose name I can’t remember, a young college student, posted way over 100 articles about clear and obvious fraud such as buses of Somalians going to various places including different states, to vote over and over.
