Statesman
He won because he acted like a statesman. His choices of advisors have also shown the care and thought he has put into this race. McCain was unfocused and all over the map. For me, the final straw was suspending his campaign to go sit like a bump on a log during the big meeting with Bush,Paulson et all. While Barack offered ideas and strategies, McCain said nothing.

Exactly. Most of you people became star-struck by an image. It's not what he actually stands for, nor what he actually promotes. His questionable connections are meaningless, his pastor's anti-American vitriol doesn't register. Heck, the guy never actually defined one initiative he would put forth in any kind of detail. He still can't explain how he's going to provide "tax-cuts" to 95% of the American public. He is the most ambiguous candidate that I've ever seen in Presidential politics. All you guys heard were buzzwords like "change" and "hope" and stuff like that. And you people went into a trance over it. Obama to date has offered no true ideas. And even today he seems to be back-peddling from the over-reaching standard you guys have set for him in your apparent euphoric state. Seriously, I don't know if this country is going to survive you baby boom liberal Democrats.
