re: #240 Bloodnok

I’m not sure any Dem would have won. He had to do a lot of things right -or at least “not wrong”. However he got those Independants (or if McCain/Palin simply lost them), he got ‘em.

Well, of course there was some hyperbole there. It was a Dem year and to your point, it was the Dems to lose. It still doesn’t change my essential point that Obama is nothing special (despite what the media pushes) and did nothing special electorally that any number of other Dems couldn’t and wouldn’t have done. It wasn’t really an issues election in my opinion. It was the “not-Booosh” election.
