I agree with you entirely. The other problem we have is getting the message out to the youth. Of course, this election cycle there was no coherent message, but hopefully next time there will be a solid conservative message to put forth. And yes, just enough of the youth will listen, if we speak their language.
McCain was pathetic in not being able to point out the obvious on national TV when he had the chance. Saying that Dodd, Frank and “the one” received to largest bribes from Fannie and Freddie may have gone a long way in the economic debate. His refusal to say what really brought down the markets was weak and showed no leadership. No republicans were able to state just plain, simple facts on this matter. McCain blaming the greed on Wall Street was just stupid.
Just to elaborate, it was not a 2% increase in black voters but rather a more significant 2% increase by black voters. Black voters went from 11% to 13% of the electorate- that's more than an 18% increase in the number of black voters.
Similarly the youth vote increased their numbers by 5% (from 17 to 18%) leading to a 1% increase in their portion of the electorate.
Any state that won by less than 3% could have ended up in McCain's column.
Agree completely. I knew immediately after the crash that if McCain didn't get it right on what happened, he'd lose. And he muffed it big time. He blamed "greedy bankers" for the crash, and we all know who they are, right? Greedy bankers aka greedy REPUBLICANS!!!
“My heart sank when I heard McCain say he was suspending his campaign to go back to Washington. I knew it was over then.”
It’s funny you say that. To me, that was McCain’s brightest moment. That was the opportunity when McC might have wrested the whole “change” mantra away from the chosen one. It was the only the slightest glimmer of hope. When mere days later he caved in to a Congress intent upon acting against the interest and expressed opinions of an electorate situated 100:1 or 300:1 against such government largess...that was MY moment when I knew we were lost.
But at this point it’s all just spitting in the wind, isn’t it?

I felt like at that moment that he was going back to DC to vote FOR the bail out. Turns out I was right.
Aha, that would explain your comment. You saw through the sham. I didn’t.
I don’t know if I would call it a sham, just more of McCain being McCain and reaching across the aisle. I think he thought he was doing the right thing.
True and correct.
Non-worshiping Catholics and apostate Protestants helped defeat McCain/Palin, too. Big time.
Let me remind everyone, the “election” is not over!
As a matter of fact, O has not been elected president yet and it is not too late to interrupt this fraud! It isn’t close to being over until the elector’s votes are accepted during the January 6, 2009 Joint Session of Congress. At the worst, we have the ball, we are down 6 points and it’s the middle of the 3d quarter.
American voters must demand that their Senators and Representatives commence now to prepare for action on or before Jan 6, or it may be over.
See the draft in my About page of the letter I sent to my politicians. I am not an English major and you can likely do better with your draft.
As a nation, we need to raise hell over O’s apparent disqualification instead of going passive! If you agree, talk about it with everyone you know and help get it on the national scene!
As dedicated Americans have done through the centuries, it is time to rally around the flag!
If McCain had not picked Gov. Palin, I was prepared to vote Libertarian, or just sit it out
I would point out two reasons.
1. In the IOWA townhall meeting, he told the audience that people don’t have to be afraid of Obama and he would make a nice President. That is pretty much his concession speech. You can hear people booing him.
2. He went out of the way to please Dems thereby alienating Conservatives. Case in point. He wanted to “spread the wealth around” by using the bail out money to buy up the troubled mortgages. That upset many conservatives though it didn’t gain much Dem votes
