Sometimes I wonder if there isn't something to the conspiracy theory that says McCain was Soros' boy just as The Marxist is, and it was his job to lose.

I think McCain tried to win, and I think he probably played his hand as best he could. Even in 2007, it was pretty much expected that this would be a Dem year.

He ran out of money at the end though because he tied himself to matching funds, and that made a big difference.

Also, I think if he didn't support the bailout he would have won. Of course, he supported the bailout because he is a Washintonian.

"Even in 2007, it was pretty much expected that this would be a Dem year. "

Now that's a winning attitude. /s

"He ran out of money at the end though because he tied himself to matching funds, and that made a big difference. "

IOW, he was hoisted by his own petard called McCain-Feingold.

What were you saying about people around here at FR being at fault?
