Obama got elected because his party was solidly behind him, their media openly campaigned for him and the GOP surrendered on day one.
McCain: “We have nothing to fear from Senator obama”.
The moment McQueeg said that, he showed his hand. The fix was in. A real party would’ve dragged his ass off the ticket that evening and replaced him with someone who was not a ringer.
I supported former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating to be drafted for the role in 2008, because he was intimately familiar with Zero’s terrorist mentors during his time as an FBI agent and in a single segment interview on tv, he completely took Zero apart (and showed more concern and drive to win in 2 minutes than McQueeg ever did). He’d have run to win, and he’d have said, “We have EVERYTHING to fear from a President Obama. And let me tell you why...”
BTW, how long does anyone here think if the Dems put up a nominee that said, “We have nothing to fear from (Republican candidate)” the base would be rioting in the streets to have them stripped of the nomination ?
