Spot on. This election WAS close...whether that was because our base didn’t show up or because independents went for socialism is up in the air at this point...but it WAS close. How many states is O winning by razor thin margins? And to think, had McCain handled the stock market issue by naming names, something we were all screaming for him to do but he refused, he could still have won. Blaming “Wall Street greed” instead of Franklin Raines et all, cost him the election imo.

Our base showed up... the independents defected to the Democrats.

Yes but McCain also needed to show that the democrats were the cause of the economic mess. The economy is what it came down to and the dems were the ones at fault. If McCain could have shown them to be the cause that they were he very well would have won.

Tonight Hussein ran the table of the battleground states. He did this feat by spending 600 million and aided by MSM that functioned as his press secretaries. Yet despite these advantages, he won the battlegrounds by narrow margins.

Yes. Properly done, it could have worked. Of course, he should have used the debates, too...the one chance he had to talk to the American people unfiltered by the MSM.
