McCain was not a good candidate, and was not the best candidate.

However, NO Republican was going to win after the Financial collapse. The day Bush trotted out there and begged for a bailout, Obama won. And not only did he win, he has a year or two of cover to blame Bush for the bailouts even Obama is doing.

The Republicans paid for years of being off the reservation...no candidate could overcome it. Heck, I’m not even sure any of the serious Pres. candidates were/are serious about changing it.

The voters in the middle vote on mood and momentum, not rational facts.

I think 2010/2012 and winning the House is just as, if not more, important.

“The day Bush trotted out there and begged for a bailout, Obama won.”

With all possible respect, that is ridiculous.

McLame lost because first, four years prior, he was threatening to jump sides to Democrat. Second, despite his platitudes on Pro-life, he was a flip-flopper on embryonic stem cell research. Third, he was for open borders. Fourth, he refused to be aggressive against Obama. Fifth, he said he was willing to raise taxes. Sixth, he was tied, even loosely to Keating. Seventh, he displayed hints of dementia. Eighth, more than once, he told conservatives to go screw themselves. Ninth, he was a major obstructor of the conservative actions Bush wanted to take when Bush first got into office because he wanted some of the glory and got upset when he was left out...and also he was sore that he got his head handed to him in the 2000 primaries.
