Enough About McCain’s ‘Graciousness’ — It’s the Reason He Lost
Actually McCain would have lost MORE votes had he played the Socialist Card.
The problem with the McCain campaign was that he was TOO Agressive. It turned off the moderates to hear the likes of Palin go on about “Socialist” with the cries of “Traitor” in the background.
If McCain had stuck to the issues, especially the one he is strong about Foreign Policy, he could have dodged the Economy bullet. Heck he could have endorsed Obama’s plan while at the same time spinning it on how he is bipartisan.
But Noooo he dug up the “Rove book of mudslinging” and alienated the moderates.
He also should have went with Liberman as VP. As an Ex-Democrat he would have attracted tons of Conservative Democrats.
Obama was a fortress between McCain and the Presidency.
You can keep bombing a fortess all you want but if it’s stronger than what you have, you would never break it.
Patton made the mistake once in France and lost a lot of good men doing so.
But if you went AROUND it, you can get to your goal easily.
