Strange...quite a few conservatives are giving it to Obama.
George Will did, Charles Krauthammer did, and now Mark Halperin (he is, face it) is framing it as a blowout--Obama was an A- to McCain's B-.

Methinks their expectations for Obama were FAR lower than ours were for McCain.

2. As unbelivable as it sounds I think George Will might vote for Obama.

6. I doubt it. They'll either vote third party or not vote
They still disagree with Obama on too many issues to actively vote for the Dem.

4. He was better in many ways
People think just because McCain didn't have a heart-attack and die that he did "good".

Even I had low expectations for McCain - doesn't make him a good President.
