“And we’ve got “Obama” because McCain and Palin lost....”
I doubt any Republican could win in 2008. The voters started voting AGAINST Bush and Republicans in 2006 and did it again, in 2008.
Reason: Two unresolved wars and a crumbling economy, and the belief Bush was asleep at the wheel his last four years.
I doubt any Republican could win in 2008. The voters started voting AGAINST Bush and Republicans in 2006 and did it again, in 2008.
And that might very well be so... that no one could have won on a GOP ticket.
But, when I see that a number of conservatives post that they did not vote for McCain, then I know that they also helped the Democrats win. And on top of that, when I see that some Freepers here say that they did not vote for McCain because McCain was not a natural born citizen, I know we've got some "crazies" in our group, too... LOL...
And maybe if all the crazies and all the other conservatives who did not vote for McCain -- had voted for him and Palin, we might not have won, anyway. But, I sure would have liked to have tried that way... :-)
