No, it will be the fault of the voters, just as it was the voters who made McCain the candidate.

When New Coke failed, was it the fault of the consumers that didn't like it?

“When New Coke failed, was it the fault of the consumers that didn’t like it?”

Perhaps the word Fault isn’t a good one - but this subject I’m very familiar with - my brother-in-law was a sales exec with Coke and I well remember that event - the success or failure of a product is determined by the consumers, or in our FR discussions, voters.

If your premise is that the product is unworthy, or its manufacturers/inventors - think of the HUGE success of such things as the Pet Rock or Ghia Pet. No, it’s the buyers/voters who determine what’s good or not good.
