McCain could have done everything right (which he didn't) and it could have been a flawless campaign (impossible) and it wouldn't have mattered.
This election was decided years ago. There were brief moments of hope which were nice, but understand this: Not ever in American history has a president been elected from the same incumbent president's party when that president is largely unpopular.
It'll never happen. 8 years after a widely unpopular Bush and it didn't matter that we nominated the guy who's obviously not Bush or near him, people were going to vote for a radical change and the other party.
Plus I don't think anyone was going to stop the first African American president from happening once he got past the primary.
Typical Republican gene, snipe at ourselves and play the blame game. "Conservatives" are already hard at work blaming the moderates in the party. It's stupidity at it's best, when things go wrong the last thing you do is play the exclusion game.

"More Monmouth Musings is a must-read. Art Gallagher skillfully covers local, state and national affairs and his blog is a definite stop on the daily news round up. A respected conservative, Art knows when to question conventional wisdom and his guest commentators provide an array of opinions on everything from the State House to the school board." ~ Senator Joe Kyrillos
" dung droppings" ~ commenter on Frank Pallone's facebook page.
"Can't speak for bigoted ignoramuses though so I'll leave that to you and yours." ~ Kathy Baratta
"Retarded" ~ Adam Puharic, former Monmouth County GOP Chairman
"More Monmouth Musings is a romping and rambunctious meeting place for the politically-engaged, and Art Gallagher is the incomparable ringmaster of this unique domain. " ~Scott Sipprelle,future Congressman
"Oh my goodness!" ~ Mayor Anna Little, future Congresswoman
"The most influential conservative in Central Jersey and Dean of the N.J. Conservative Blogging Caucus. First site I check every day... after my own!" ~ Matt Rooney, SaveJersey.com
"MMM is a great source of insider gossip and news in the conservative wing of the Republican Party and the Tea Party. I don’t agree with everything I read, but I keep taking a look- it is definitely entertaining. However, MMM would be better and could have far greater credibility if Art Gallagher didn’t display his biases quite so obviously and ran an unbiased forum for discussion.
