i can still remember how a lot of us were worried that Obama was going to win (thanks to "The Stupid Vote) I, like many Americans just sat on the couch in total panic mode knowing that the nation was about to go down like the titanic. and again in 2012, half the country went into full panic mode knowing what was going to happen, and knowing it was going to be far worse in the next four years. And look at where we are now! who would ever think we would see the day when over Half of Americans voted for a Muslim Sympathizer?I am fine with math, of course I was joking with the 39/76 poll. what I was getting at was that CBS was trying to keep the McCain/Palin fans home on election night being the Media had already called it a landslide for Obama. But I do remember they had McCain at 39%. Now that was ridiculous! but we all knew it was going to be a 4 or 5 point difference. hey, didn't Clinton win twice with about 40%?
He got 43% in 1992 and 49% in 1996. In a three way race.
More interesting is your delusion that somehow, McCain could have won.
Mccain was a lost cause. Worst recession in 80 years and a war that had turned into a complete disaster, the man didn't have an argument to make.
Still, he got 59 million votes. Less than the 62 million votes Bush had gotten in 2004, but even if he HAD gotten them, Obama got 69 million votes. 3 million changed their minds and 7 million NEW voters. Obama still would have won by 3 million votes had those voters stuck with the GOP. he got that many more voters out.
^^^^ This is totally who Democrats want picking the GOP candidate ^^^
