re: #728 Kenneth

The fact Obama won may not have anything to do with McCain’s positions: left, right or center. After 8 years of Bush, and the unrelenting negative press coverage of him, the Dems could have run a mannequin and still won the election. In fact, it seems they did, so little did the media reveal of the record & character of the real Obama.

Obama was fresh & the Media has a love affair with him.
McCain seemed like & looked like the past.
Bush was being blamed fairly & unfairly for about everything.
McCain ran a really bad campaign & still went up four points after choosing Sarah Palin. If it did not break that the economy was in free fall, who knows?
