"The campaign was not about McCain/Obama. It was about Bush. McCain could have run a campaign as good as Obama and he still wouldn't of had a chance."


That is easy to say in hindsight and it's true Bush's incredibly low numbers played a part and Obama played that to the hilt. McCain still could've won though, with a better campaign. Palin? Some say she brought him down but the truth is she probably got him more votes than she lost him. He was a terrible candidate.

But really not worth arguing over now. Best to look to the future and make sure that it is Barack Obama who becomes the next 'one-term' President.
