Karl Rove knows why McCain lost, and of course he's right. I also think it's poetic justice.

If
money talks, we'll likely soon hear the real reason why Barack Obama
beat John McCain. Both men and the national parties will report to the
Federal Election Commission today how much money they raised in October
and November. And what the numbers will probably show is that Mr. Obama
outspent Mr. McCain by the biggest margin in history, perhaps a quarter
of a billion dollars.-- [Continued]

Poetic Justice that McCain was hoist
on his own McCain Feingold Campaign Finance petard. But, come to
think of it, the very restrictions that did him in, were also
what allowed the media to make him the nominee in the first place,
despite the fact that we, the Republican base, hated his guts.
Just a taste of what happens when only certain people have access to
the First Amendment. I suspect we'll be getting progressively
larger helpings of that particular gruel.

Hated his guts? That sounds a tad too strong. He actually had a few decent ideas about drilling and cutting corporate taxes and all of his bad ideas were shared with Obama. But he really was a completely uninspiring candidate.
ReplyDeleteno, hated his guts is right
ReplyDeleteI still cannot grasp the idea of that much money being spent on a campaign. What is the goal? who is getting the ROI for this? Something really stinks very much bad....
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, hate his guts is pretty damned close.
Hate is an active emotion. In order to hate, you have to spend time thinking about the object of your hatred. Why on Earth would anyone want to spend time thinking about John McCain? It would tend to make you moon-batty. Look at what all the time they spent hating Dubya did to the leftards!
ReplyDeleteThe real question is why do people who will never vote Republican get a say in who will be the Republican candidate?
Initially I was simply going to vote straight right on everything but POTUS, and 3rd party for that post. Then came Sarah, and I really thought maybe we had a chance. I voted for HER, not HIM. I really didn't want HIM in the Oval Office. I know a guy who admits voting Obama for "tactical reasons". Figured we might as well get the "party" started. Get it rolling.
