"Alas, I converted very few, I’m afraid. McCain was truly a very hard sell, a mediocre and unappealing choice at best, and ran a flat-out miserable campaign."

Many don't want to face the hard reality that McCain and rinos delivered Obama the Presidency on a silver plater. If you stand for nothing you fall for anything.

I’m no great political analyst, but IMHO, this was one of those weird twists of history where the momentum and mishmosh of events overtook any reference to sanity. I totally agree with your statement above on a personal basis; but in the deteriorating economic climate right around the election as represented so blatantly by the stock market tanking, I’m afraid that “we have to change” was going to beat “stand for (y)our principles”. A clone of Ronald Reagan could have run against Alfred E. Neuman and quite possibly would have lost, just because the ennui with GW was so vivid, and the Dems, let’s face it, welded McCain to that ennui very effectively. Oh yeah, and McCain was about as inspiring as a plate of cold toast.
