“despite a 12% increase in the number of people who voted.”
Don’t believe the propagandists. 26 million FEWER people voted this time around... Nice try.
“the election was “unwinnable” once the financial market crashed.”
Not if Palin was on top of the ticket. She would have gone ‘full-bore’ on Barney Frank and his ilk’s corruption. That was a hangin’ curve-ball given the proper slugger at the plate.

Looks like we’re both wrong:
Election 2004:
Bush 62,040,606
Kerry 58,028,109
Total 120,068,715
Election 2008:
Obama 66,882,230
McCain 58,343,671
Total 125,225,901
5 million more people voted in 2008 than in 2004.
