In August he ran a suprisingly good conservative campaign and I was almost was tempted to send money but I always said see how he acts under stress, and his true phony self came out as I predicted, changing themes every week, cowardly supporting the bailout, then when it was too late throwing Ayers around.
He wanted to win OK. But he was a phony who had to constantly play to us conservatives because we couldnt trust him. BoB could act like a moderate because his base trusted him, so he remained consistent. Voters believed Obama over McCain on tax cuts. McCain just looked too phony. And if someone had to go down in 2008, let it be him.
But remember, according to election results, Obama didn’t win because he was so great - McCain lost because many conservatives didn’t buy the lies and didn’t vote. God bless ‘em but while principle is good, we know have at least four years of pukedom - though would it have been any better with McCain?
