Or maybe it means McCain/Palin was such a strong candidate Obama could only win with the deck stacked in his favor including "8 times the money."

McCain is not to blame here. Thanks to W's inept and incompetent leadership he had a very tough hill to climb. He was doing fine until the mini-meltdown of the economy.

Palin was not without her faults as a candidate either.

You have got to be kidding, right?

NOWHERE was McCain ever considered a strong candidate and he would have sunken if not for Palin. Look at vote totals and tell me he was strong.

Absolutely is. He ran a poor campaign and wasnt even the favorite Republican candidiate, just the one left standing. He was the problem and his organization was to blame. That means him.
