Ill be pre-emptive here...
I think the RNC's choice of Sarah Palin was one of the smarter things they did.
Not only did she appeal to the conservative base but it threw the DNC for a loop. They were totally un-prepaired for her.
McCain lost due to a few factors beyound his control...
The media wanted the first black president in office if for no other reason than 'history making'.
Obama had considerably more funds to work with and 'out avertised' his opponent.
The claim of "4 more years of the same" rang true to the anti Bush Crowd, true or not.
Obama had a large voting block locked up, he dident even have to campaign a single day to win that block.
Many brain dead liberals felt that Obama was going to "put gas in their tank and pay their mortagages" never mind the fact it is patently false.
Obama was able to blatently lie on the campaign trail again and again and no one called him on it.
The fact that Obama is a flaming liberal with Marxist intents was not driven home, not even mentioned till it was too late.
I can think of more by my blood pressure is already too high.
