People, get real.
It is extremely hard for an incumbent party to retain the WH after 8 years. No matter what.
Bill Clinton could not get Al Gore in the WH, and Clinton has a 60% approval rating. THAT is how hard it is. Eisenhower could not do it, nor could LBJ. Only Reagan was strong enough to get Bush I over the finish line in 1988.
How on Earth could any Republican win in such a climate, when the incumbent Republican had a 34% approval rating?
McCain never had a chance. It is to his credit that he got as many votes as he did.
