Obama campaign manager David Plouffe reflects in an interview: "We went through as rigorous a primary as we've ever seen in our country's history, I think, and there's no doubt that made us a stronger general election candidate. A lot of our dirty laundry was aired, and we had practice in testing a campaign...because we had been through 54 primaries and caucuses, and run the gauntlet. McCain hadn't done that."

Good eye, Badeye.
ACORN's evasion of campaign finance laws by laundering Soros' millions through prepaid debit cards stole the election.
Good analysis of McCain. He is a leaf blowing in the wind, most of it generated by his own mouth. (Tortured imagery I know - sue me)
You sum it up nicely!
My point is not that Bush took a pounding, it is that he NEVER used the office to fight back! He stood there taking the pasting. Republicans in general never stand up for truth, they are way more interested in not creating waves and crossing their plantation masters, the Democrats.
Further, Bush took us to war. I’m okay with that, but he never had a consistent effort to maintain the support for the war with the rest of the country. He abandoned his post and thus the country turned against the war and against him.
In 8 years how many times did Bush address the nation from the Oval Office? 3 times in 8 years? 4 times (once every two years?)
No, it was the GOP with no plan beyond the WOT and spending money.
Thank you.
I agree, no lawsuit contemplated...(chuckle)
No. Obama beat hillary because the Dem players and money people evidently decided to back him instead of hillary, and the Dem base was never very enthusiastic about her.
But Obama won the election because McCain was a lousy candidate. For that, you can fault McCain, the RNC, the RINOs, and the abortion-loving big money country club donors who think that plenty of sex with no kids is more important than the welfare of our country.
You can fault Rush for allowing Fred Thompson to be polished off by the MSM and the RNC, but it’s a hard call. A lot more blame goes to the idiots at NRO and elsewhere who backed Mitt from the start because they thought he was the most “electable.” Those are the same effete idiots who thought Sarah Palin was too common and that Obama was cute.
Somebody should tell Colin Powell....
The msm and 760 million dollars selected B.Hussein
Interesting summary. Has an appeal of logic to it.
Yeah. It certainly looked like they were throwing the game.
See Badeye’s analysis of McCain. How else could Mr Anger Issues run such an insipid campaign?
In the normal course of political events it’s possible that strategy could even work.
Unfortunately 0bama is planning on changing the rules.
Thanks. That view is the primary reason I’m no longer at GOPACHY. The moderates there despise it.
Excellent points.
The truth hurts...
No.
The stinking liberal media elected Obama, just like they secured McCain's nomination for him through puff piece coverage. They knew the only way to get this done was to suppress conservative votes, and that's exactly what McCain's campaign did.
You’re STEAMING UP MY GLASSES!
No, that's not what Operation Chaos was about. The media put out that false reality.
The point of Operation Chaos was to keep Hillary in the game because at the time, McCain's campaign was making it very clear they had no interest in bloodying up Obama. Who else better to do that than the Clintons, the masters of the war room?
Context is a killer.
