WRONG!!! As much as I despise McQueeg, IT WAS BUSH who handed us Obama on a bright and shiny silver platter. With his miserable failure to defend himself from 2005 to 2008 against the leftist onslaught, and the falling asleep on the financial meltdown in 2008 and then letting Democrat Paulson start the bailout bonanzas, it's no wonder the country wouldn't even let another Republican get into the WH.
Thats pretty much my recollection also.
McCain was ahead until he suspended his campaign and did absolutely NOTHING.
I think it was a mix of both guys who cost us the election.
