McCain didn’t lose because some conservatives didn’t like him and stayed home. The few hundred thousand people who actually know that McCain is a loon unfit for the senate, much less the presidency, didn’t swing anything. McCain lost because if your choice is between two pontificating hacks who don’t say much different pick the younger, more historic one. Obama beat McCain the same way he beat HRC. Sound the same - be prettier.

That's not what some other FReepers I've been reading have said... :-)
I guess it would be your word against theirs, then... but that's usual around here on Free Republic... a long list (in threads) of "he said" -- "she said"... LOL... and so on and so forth...

Just more of the "he said" -- "she said" type of dialogue going on here... not too much changes over the years here...
