the simple truth is that the young ones and many people who over the past years moved into the Us or moved inside the US into historical Republöican strongholds, were not republican, and were not interested in conservatism. By ethnic and demographic chnages and age structures and ethnic migration patterns I cannot see that trend ending. So, republicans need to reinvent a new form of wjhat it means to be Republican. The old formulas are more and more unlikely to work in attracting voters.
And I remember that you and me had a discussion on that some years ago, where I already predicted that!

Fixed for you...
Actually it does make sense, alot of conservative republicans did not like McCain and felt in some ways the best thing would be for him to lose, not to mention votes that went to third party / write in candidates.
The election was not the 'landslide' as painted in the popular media. Yes he took the majoirty of electoral votes but thats another topic. In the popular vote it was actually pretty close.
