What cooked McCain’s goose was him telling everyone we didn’t have anything to fear if 0bama won. He pretty much said it’s okay to vote for him and many R’s did.
“What cooked McCain’s goose”
In my unproveable opinion, McCain lost because he didn’t fight. I was shouting answers and challenges for him to say during his debates - he performed as though he were having a mild discussion and might vote for O himself.
No fire. No passion.
I liked McCain as a candidate and would have been so happy had he won. But he didn’t seem to ultimately want it. Same as the senior Bush for his 2nd term. He also seemed so vague and general. It was puzzling.
One of the things I like about Perry, so far, is his passion. He comes across as a fighter, and I like that.
