Simple ~ not a popularity contest, but an unpopularity contest.

Obama had plenty of people who didn't like him ~ e.g., the 20% of white Democrats who will never vote for a black candidate (PUMAs fall into that category).

They could cross over to vote for McCain, or just leave the Presidential part blank.

Apparantly the 20% came through for McCain.

McCain never pulled more than 40% of the Republican vote during the primaries.

The remaining 60% of the party had sufficient numbers who still didn't like McCain that they didn't vote for him.

Non-voting Republicans controlled the outcome.

Now that we've gotten rid of almost all the elected RINOs and pretty much identified the countryclubbers who are "disloyal", I'd suggest we stand a good chance of exterminating the Democrats in the House of Representatives 2 years hence.

All we need is candidates, who can convince voters that they will act like their campaign speeches, and put the best interest of their country ahead of their personal interest.

********

You know what’s really funny about all this?
Even at the peak of the campaign, the brain dead McCain was still going flat out for the Latino vote (who were never going to vote for him anyway), with promises of amnesty, instead of wooing the conservative base of the Republican Party, who were not so eager to vote for him.
In the end , Republicans staying home just cost him these elections. Why after all, should they vote for a guy that was STILL promising to screw them up, by granting amnesty to 20 million law breakers, rapists , drug dealers and killers so far as their crimes had not been discovered yet?
Despite all his pandering to LaRaza and other extremist Latino amnesty and open borders fanatics, he got exactly nowhere with those people. Talk about a really stupid guy.

After two years of Obama, we will rule the House. I am looking forward to that.

Don't be too sure.

The Rats are already working on structural changes that will guarantee they are never defeated again. These include crushing talk radio and maybe regulating the internet.

In addition, they are working to eliminate the 401K, thus erasing the "investor class" as Investor's Business Daily calls those of us who own stock through retirement plans and who, therefore, don't identify with the "class struggle" between corporations and workers.

That, combined with a frontal assault on small business, closing many down, will result in a clear wedge between workers and business with little gray area.

The assets of the 401Ks, combined with the equities of the financial institutions they took over with the $800B bailout, is equivalent to them nationalizing the businesses of this country.

The Obama "tax cuts" will take even more Americans off the tax rolls. That, along with extending the franchise to illegals, felons and other non tax payers will result in perhaps 48% of voters owing no income tax. And, of those who do pay taxes, many will be government workers who see their self-interest as having a bigger government.

The goal and the result will be to make as many of us identify with the proletariat as possible, creating more and more dependence on Rats for our existence.

This doesn't even consider the rule changes and laws they will pass to make it difficult to run conservatives and to institutionalize ACORN-like tactics.

We must strike swiftly to save our voices and our freedom. There are no guarantees that BO or the Rats will screw up on their own. They have been living for this moment, dreaming, scheming and plotting their whole lives.
