What scares me most is that more than 1 in 2 Americans wanted this to happen.
Utter disbelief is an understatement. Disgust is a better word
Mac didn’t run the right campaign. And too many missteps.
For the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed to be an American. At the time that we face foreign and domestic threats unseen before, we elect the most unqualified ticket in history. At least four years from now, we can look back at the good old days when Bush was President. And we can hope that our Senators, including the RINOs learn the word filibuster to block the worst of Obama.
Nope.
63 million Americans wanted this to happen.
56 million didn't.
And the rest of the 300* million stayed home.
*includes non-voter eligible people I'm sure.
He only got 62 million votes. That’s 1 in 5. And who knows how many actually WANTED it to happen as opposed to didn’t want a McCain win to happen, there is a difference. This was a craptacular presidential field from both parties, and the lower than recent years turn out shows America actually wasn’t terribly psyched either way.
Really the way the GOP has let the Dems dictate terms since the 04 win which completely killed what little popularity Bush had this was a no win for the GOP from the start. The fact that it was even close shows the Dems really didn’t put forth good candidates and Congress is highly winnable in 10 and Obama is beatable in 12. There’s nothing permanent in this world, hopefully that includes the stupidity of the top brass in the GOP.
