I simply don't see it that way.
How enthusiastic were you to vote McCain even with Governor Palin as a running mate?
As most people, I became enthused when Palin entered the race.
Obama with all the hype and all the MSM attention was still beatable. He did not win by a land slide even with all the ACORN cheating going on.
You're right, McLame could have won, but he did not fight. He had his chances, and would not capitalize on them.
WE MUST STOP THROWING OUR OWN UNDER THE BUS. The Democrats do not do that. McCain was certainly not one of us, but Dr. Paul is. In my opinion.
I'm not throwing him under the bus. I just don't agree with him. He's not a candidate who represents my thinking.

Dr. Paul would have made a better candidate than McCain. Governor Palin was a brilliant choice for VP, but could not (was not allowed to) make up for a nitwit moderate at the helm.
It's the neo-con/moderate wing of the GOP that needs to go. You had your chance and you blew it. You could have put into place an electable VP post President Bush and you blew it. President Bush, as successful as he was, was not a conservative and did not have best interests of the Republican Party in mind while he was in power. Now we have a President hell-bent on destroying us. As a party, as a nation. Bah.
