I wrote this post last week about McCain's campaign mistakes. In it, I mentioned,
"Given that, in the words of one pundit this morning, a switch in results from only 40 counties across the US would have made McCain President-elect this morning, the latter's campaign mistakes are really what caused his loss.
In the end, McCain just seemed unable to mount a vigorous, clear, vibrant and coherent message to give voters something to be for, rather than merely be against reasonable fears of Democrat hegemony."
What is even more remarkable is how close McCain came in a Presidential election featuring such total racist voting patterns.
I'm referring, of course, to the Illinois rookie garnering something approaching 96% of the black vote. If, instead, the usual split in Presidential elections had obtained, Sarah Palin would be handing her job to her lieutenant governor, and Arizona would have a newly-appointed Senator in a few months.
And, of course, if the media had reported a white voter preference for McCain in the same proportion as that of the blacks for his opponent, charges of racism would have flown thick and fast Tuesday night, and ever since.
Several pundits, among them the eminent Karl Rove, noted that the Illinois freshman Senator won by no more of a margin than Clinton.
Hardly a mandate.
Remember that when you begin to hear of the wholesale socialism the newly-elected President and his Congressional cronies want to inflict on America.

Obama increased over John Kerry in EVERY demographic group.
He also won by 6.5 percent. That's bigger than any democratic candidate since 1964.
But i have to ask. what do you guys get out of saying things that are just blatantly out of touch with reality?
I know my comment won't appear, but I do have the consolation of knowing race baiting dumbasses like you are the reason the democrats are going to be in power for the next 30 years.
Dero-
Oh no, I'll absolutely publish your dumbass comment.
Let's see, where to start?
When you begin with a racially-biased 13 point advantag before the polls open, you'd better outperform the white liberals who ran before you.
It's a wonder McCain came so close, with all the disadvantages under which he labored.
I don't believe your statistic. I don't know you. Karl Rove is a more credible source.
Race baiting? Moi? No, that would be your candidate and his supporters. Anyone who questioned the empty-suited Messiah from Illinois was labeled as a racist.
Get ready to see Frisco Nan sent packing in 2010, 2012 at the latest.

I forgot to add this. The Illinois freshman will be a one-hit wonder.
Assuming nobody shoots him, God forbid. Then the faker would become a martyr.
Merely predicting to the mean, he will be a one-termer. Given his promises to both the far left and the mainstream independents, he'll be lucky to make his own party's convention as the nominee.
Recall that Carter was so inept that the murderous Ted Kennedy challenged him.
For once, being a conservative, it will be a pleasure to sit back and watch liberals try to govern perfectly, and be blamed for their failures.
