He got the votes
yes I know he got the votes maybe I am not explaining this enough.
The media went and became a cheerleader for Mccain, the independents and many republicans went along with it and while it would be nice to think every republican follows politics they do not.
They like Dems sit in their front room and watch the media and then believe them.
Exactly! All these McCain haters either did not work hard enough for their candidate or are not effective campaigners. Speaking for myself McCain was my last choice in GOP field, but I voted for him in GE as the better alternative to Zero. I am not stupid enough to cut my ears off to spite the nose.
