Well, most of his problems were obvious since Rev Wright problem erupted. I mean, he replied first with “We are all racists, including my granny” just to dump him after honest “He is politician” comment. Yet, party dons decided to pick him over Hilary Clinton. And it was obvious that Clinton’s position (leftist on social policies and centrist on foreign policy) was more attractive for working classes then opposite, which Obama championed. Since then, by moving to centre, he lost love of party’s left wing without gaining love of party’s right wing. And by rapid shifting position he lost lots of respect among both sides.
Now, as every cloud have silver lining, there is one for Democrats. McCain is not some unbearable ogre, comparing to Bush. And with Republican as president, Democrats in Senate and Congress majority can easily shift blame to him. And in case that President was Democrat, there would be serious losses in elections two years from now…
