RE :”Well liked by conservatives. But his last name might as well be Hitler.”
GWB poisoned the waters for all republicans not just Jeb.
National Review Magazine had a great article on many of the reasons McCain lost. 1) GWB, 2) having to constantly reassure the base(could not be trusted) he was conservative,3) frequently changing messages,4) financial bailout tied GWB and bad economy to MxcCain, and 5) did not connect to voters, On 5) Obama consistently ran on middle class tax cuts at expense of very rich, and creating jobs. McCain never really explained how he would help middle class, not coherently or humanly. Obama looked like he cared and stayed on message, no serious flip-flopping, unlike McCain.
Now dont lecture me that Obama is a phony(instead lets keep Obama to all his promises) or the media was helping Obama(that is obvious) . They both were phonies, but Obama knew how to ‘look’ genuine, like Clinton in 1992.
“(instead lets keep Obama to all his promises)”
Huh? I hope he breaks his promise to raise taxes for one.
