Enough of this "McCain was dealt a bad hand" crap
I just got home and inside of 10 minutes I hear this crap 3 times.

May I remind everybody that McCain was running against a black man who had relatively little experience on the national stage. Bush or no bush, that is a huge advantage. There's a built-in floor of 40% that would never vote for a black man.

McCain was a terrible candidate. He had a terrible strategy. He offered nothing. All he did was summons bogeymen. Nothing constructive the entire campaign. That is why he lost.

That, and the fact that he ran against a brilliant candidate.

Stop apologizing for McCain. He deserves this loss, and Obama eared his victory.

4. He degenerated into everything he supposedly hated.
That's sad for him as a human being. Good for us because it lost him the White House!

5. And McCain played a HUGE role in getting Bush to the 29% level.
McCain was at that table stacking the deck. And these are cards be mostly dealt himself.

It wasn't bad luck that the economy cratered. It was consequences of McCain's philosphy.
