Obama's Money

McCain Couldn't Compete With Obama's Money

... and whose fault was that?

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.
