Folks didn't yawn, what happened was millions of blacks who had never voted before finally did. There is no way to deduce that a moderate didn't win because he was a moderate. How many conservatives do you know who voted for Obama?
Obama did not get as higher a black vote as conventional wisom holds volume wise....only a few points more though he did get 5% more to vote DEM pushing the usual 90% to nearly 96%
Where he truly scored was in mushy middle folks and youth. He motivated them in large numbers.
McCain got 4 million less than Bush 2004 did and overall 8 million more voted in 2008 for both sides so it stands to reason Obama peeled off many moderate 2004 GOP voters.....the what culture war bunch? and just ignorant folks
I believe Mac woulda done much worse without Palin who did generate some base support but for the most part Mac’s poor none hand behind the back campaign and lackluster debating combined with a super hostile media gave it to the greater speaker who go almost a full pass from the drive bys.
The very same bunch on the RNC national scene and punditry who backstabbed palin are gleeful over Steele.
I will be interested to see what Rush says though sometimes he4’s close mouthed to keep access and he does already have a big fight going with the Messiah.
for the record, my family gave nearly 6000 to the campaign and most went to Mac even though I personally can’t stand the guy.
not sure I’ll do that for another RINO, we may just have to crawl on our knees before we learn....sure looks that way from here.
