Two Words:
Historical Trend

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.
