What costed McCain the election, once and for all, was the timed and planned market melt down in late September, EOS.
Yes. The test run was with Schummer in spring with the bank. Then the mortgage meltdown, then Harry Reid’s assault on the insurance industry. Brilliant bit of leftist market manipulation.
Is suspending his campaign, and “the fundamentals are good” on that list? Because those are in the top 5.
Thank you. The "October Surprise" was as if George "W"(orsepresident) Bush had actually set out to sabotage the McCain/Palin ticket in the belief that an Obama in the White House for four years would somehow restore his legacy.
Which he could have used ^proactively^ by tying Obama and the Dems to Fan/Fred in August when the MSM was talking about foreclosures!
What killed McCain was his lack of exposing to the American people “who was to blame for the market meltdown.” No guts, no glory aka surrender America to domestic terrorists. Now, America welcome the change as the Germans welcomed Hitler. Don’t be shocked when the Gestapo comes to your door. Remember, your supposed Liberal friends hate conservatives.
McCain was given a lens that enabled Joe 6pack to clearly see through a web of otherwise obfuscating socialist programs and see how that corruption affected Joes pocketbook. One of the things that costed McCain was that it would have exposed his own relatively minor dalliances with these corrupt elements so he put the lens in his pocket.
Yes, it certainly does appear that the economy was what doomed McCain.
EXACTLY RIGHT!!!!!!!! Paulson was also in the take for Zero
In retrospect, I don't think so. I think what cost McCain the election is that the GOP base didn't turn out for him. Of course, McCain's support for the federal bailout bill may have been one of the reasons for that lack of support, but let's face it: McCain wasn't exactly the favorite of the GOP base to begin with.
