There were a number of things that affected the 2008 election: 1) the media was bound and determined to elect Obama and shilled tirelessly for him; the young voted for Obama in record numbers; my son worked at at Outback restaurant and thinks he was the only one there who voted for McCain 3) McCain and his team ran one of the worst campaigns in history and 4) even though he wasn't officially running, George Bush was on the ticket with every Republican in 2008.
Look at the votes third parties received - it wasn't that high. Barr and Baldwin didn't even hit 750,000 votes combined.
