the GOP’s inability to come up with a decent Presidential candidate (due partially to the flawed GOP primary system)

Our primary system is fine and our candidate was a good one.

When the economy goes in the tank and the housing and stock markets go in the tank, the party in power is going to get hammered.

Seriously, who besides McCain would have been better ? I say not Rudy, not Mitt, not huckabee, not fred, not duncan, not tancredo.

... the GOP’s inability to come up with a decent Presidential candidate

There simply was no good candidate to be had on the GOP side in 2008. If Mitt, Rudy, Huck, Fred et al couldn't defeat the weakest candidate fielded by the GOP since Thomas Dewey, I think we almost have to conclude "the GOP was unable to come up with a decent presidential candidate".

We can argue about the reasons. But there's no arguing with the conclusion.

Our guy Mc Cain would have brought us nationalized health care and foremost, amnesty. Then it would all be the same as with Hussein, just a year or two later in coming. Amnesty will give us a permanent SD(Social Democrat) presidency and 90% congress. Everything else follows just as Hussein would like except that it might not be Barack Hussein leading it.
