Mark Bureau has suggested that it was because McCain voted for the bailout bill which is an excellent point.

Mccain-Feingold (no, not the SNL joke)

McCain-Kennedy

Gang of 14

Mavericks ride alone. John McCain didn't need us until he started sending out requests for donations. Now that he has lost this election, it's time for him to retire instead of trying to be the Republican Bobby Byrd. If Arizona law requires that the Governor appoint a Republican to replace him, do it now. If not, don't run for re-election.

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.
