I can tell you why John McCain lost in two words, too: John McCain.
John McCain didn’t cost us the house and the Senate. That was America repudiating George Bush. It’s sad but true. And now Jeb wants to take all that George Bush baggage with him on the Campaign trail as if it won’t even be an issue now that we have recovered from the damage that his brother did. Right. I’m sure America has forgotten all about the failed Iraq war and the financial collapse.
