If anything John McCain deserves to be more dissapointed in the voters for not recognizing it than the voters will ever have cause to be dissapointed by John McCain. Come on. JM dissed his own supporters at his rallies and offered up to them that Obama would make a fine president. JM was NOT up to the fight. Most supporters are not disappointed in him since they never had the expectation that he would fight.

Interesting take by Dick Morris. Next 4 years should be very interesting. The next two years might be very interesting anyway. Morris noted that, depending on how fast rookie (my word) Obama might become unpopular with the voters, we might have a republican-controlled congress in two years.

Excellent point. Perfect storm. Makes me wonder who set it up.

Five points corrected for margin of error equals about 1%. Get real?? You cannot make something out to be what it wasn't. Lasted about a week.

Bush let the Democrats roll him for eight years. He lost the respect of almost everybody. Reagan could go over the heads of the media and speak directly to the people. Bush never had that skill or the fire in the belly to fight back.
Bush could have really put the hurt on the Democrats back when he knew about the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac train wreck coming and still might have made a difference. He failed.
McCain couldn't overcome the hole in which Bush put the Republicans.

If republicans had stood by President Bush, then his negatives wouldn't have been so low and he could have handed off to another republican. But no, the republicans slammed Bush as much as the looney left.
I have never seen a leader abandoned so completely by his own side. The only ones who stuck to him and still believe in him are the military.
Did he make mistakes? Yeah, they all do (Lebanon anyone?) but there were NONE who stood by President Bush.
To: McGavin999
The ones that stood by President Bush all got voted out of office.
It’s great if you are in a district that is 70 percent Republican . . a Congressman can do whatever he pleases.
In a large state or mixed district, Bush has really ended a lot of people’s careers.
To: WilliamReading
The simple truth is George W. Bush is not a conservative. Who needs a liberal lite when you can have the 100% Marxist version we have now?
To: WilliamReading
Bush didn't end their careers, they did. If they had been effective in standing by him, if the other cowards had stood by him, they could have over-ridden this.
Look how the dems do it. Right now, already, Podesta and the other minions are on TV telling how effective and disciplined Obama is going to be. Did you see one person out there doing the same for Dubya?
This is going to be the second Clinton administration with the same smash mouth types out there defending every and anything he does. Our side rolls over and plays dead.

I hate to be the one to tell you but the Democrat right is about midway between the center and the far left.

Come on. JM dissed his own supporters at his rallies and offered up to them that Obama would make a fine president. McCain might have went to far in his praise, however, I'll conceed that he was more right than wrong. I likewise do not believe that Obama is an Arab (the accusation) or even a Muslim. And like Senator McCain said, he no doubt is a family man who dearly loves his wife and children. McCain was just being a gentleman by pointing that out.

Let’s just say it seems pretty supernatural to me that we just elected an inexperienced unknown named Barak Hussein Obama.

McCAin was doomed until he was talked into picking Palin, then the bailout/panic came along and that’s how we got where we are.
