Right, and the natural disadvantage was named Bush.
McCain had an opportunity to oppose the bailout, and to make 0bama the agent of Bush instead of the agent of change.
This ain’t over.

According to the official Ohio Secretary of State website — and Jennifer Brunner is a Democrat — 43.19% of all precincts have reported. That’s significantly less than half.
Obama ................. 49.79%
McCain ................ 48.56%
If McCain wins Ohio, he is definitely still alive. All the networks have already called Ohio for Obama, in much the same way they called the election for Kerry in 2004.
You nailed it. ACORN has been on the ground entrenched in 50 states since the democrat primaries. They've had a year to screw with the system.
North Cuba...err..I mean South Florida pushed Obama way over...by 400-500k.
Maybe GOPers will finally begin to push back on the leftist media.
Last I saw, Florida was more red than blue.
Uh, are you sure? The Dems were clearly responsible for the Fannie Mae fiasco yet the Republicans got the blame.
and it’s the Republicans fault for not fighting back....I’ve said it for years now- the GOP fights like a bunch of little girls....until that changes we’re screwed....
What really sickens me is that my GOP congressman, Tom Feeney, got clobbered by his Dem challenger.
Thanks McLame....thanks GOP. God Bless Feeney
Ric Keller also lost his seat. The two Orlando area GOP House members both got trounced. Keller got routed by a ultra-lefty Dem who makes Obama look like Duncan Hunter
I think the parallels are tremendous. Old Party guy, war veteran/hero who gets the chance to go out and try to win the presidency late in life.
Both Dole and McCain just had nothing that made you really want to vote for them. They were both uninspiring candidates. Good soldiers but no pizzaz
BULLSHIT.
They control everything but will STILL blame the republicans. And the public will believe it all.
They wouldn't be able to pull it off. They will be in total control and the public will hold them accountable for both their successes and their failures. Thank God Mitch McConnell is still around. He is an unapologetic conservative and will be capable of leading a conservative (not merely Republican) revolution in two years.
Reguards to MVL country.
Bush beat McCain.
Stick a fork in America. When a Third World Marxist with terrorist friends and a Muslim background can win those two states, then the dumbing down & demographic changes that began in the 60s have reached critical mass. America is no longer a true Western nation. As our colleague Wardaddy has said, our nation has been taken by people who could never have created it.
Oh parksstp... my heart aches for you.
I cannot begin to imagine!!
America has died, and you were fighting to keep her alive and well.
God BLESS YOU.....don’t blame you for getting out!

Yeah, I live in Fairfax and I saw dozens of people wearing Obama t-shirts (including children!)
We live in a celebrity driven society where anyone can be famous thanks to reality TV.
Parksstp - your country did not decide to spit on you. Americans of all stripes voted for O’Bomber tonight and in doing so spit on George Bush who managed the oval office like an imbecile. Us conservatives used to believe we should run government like we run our households - with sobriety. Bush went rampant, spent money like a teenager with a credit card, a lot on iraq, national healthcare, wealthy wallstreeters and the like. What’s there to like about that? He dicked us and lost the country for republicans. But don’t blame America for that.

In 2006 so many here said ignore the polls. In 2008, the same thing.
Seems to me, even if the polls were a bit exaggerated, they were right.
The GOP has a lot of pieces to pick up....again. Sometimes a cleansing is good.
If anything, it’s good to be the opposition party for awhile and let them take all the hits. The GOP will have it’s day again, but the GOP needs to run better candidates and have a consistent message.
This is not surprising.
And completely ignored the incredible VICTORY we have in Iraq. Thanks to your son for his service. My nephew is joining the Marine Corps and I now wonder if this is a wise decision.
