There was some voter fraud in the first election, also criminal acts in the primaries.
The second election had so much documented and witnessed voter fraud that to claim that the majority of voters wanted 0bastard is just not factual.
And of course saddling us with Romneypuke the second time, and McIsane the first, was another method to tamp down the opposition to 0bastard. Added to that the fact that McInsane stopped trying to win in July for some reason. He gave up at that point for some reason.
I recall he suspended his campaign to vote "yea" for printing more money. "To "save" the economy, don'cha know. Then he picked Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Once his poll numbers went up past Obama's, he put a muzzle on her. Finally, he told a senior citizen that didn't like Obama that she needn't worry. That Obama was a good man and that she could trust him. (Wonderful, John. You even made stump speeches endorsing Obama at your own rally!)
Deep down, I think McCain enjoys being an unaccountable Senator. For any reason that occurs to him, he can point the finger of blame at 99 of his peers and anyone else he doesn't care for and no will notice. All that power and no responsibility? And you can keep the gig for six years at a stretch, term after term?
Even the President doesn't have it that easy and he finally figured it out!
“Added to that the fact that McInsane stopped trying to win in July for some reason. He gave up at that point for some reason.”
I remember that well! Three weeks before the election he hadn’t made any statements. Two weeks before the election I wondered why he was still silent. One week before, I knew we had already lost the election.
