McCain was a sacrificial lamb in this election. The only reason this isnt a landslide is because the dems managed to find the worst canidate to ever run for office.

Obama has TONS of dirty laundry in his past

Obama is not a very goos speaker when not on the teleprompter, he has improved during the last couple of months though.

McCain is just McCain. I would imagine that he told the RNC he only planned to go for 1 term so they decided to throw him a bone for his long service. If anyone remembers that far back, McCain got TONS more press coverage, mostly good, than any of the other canidates. And with todays uneducated and lazy masses, they only go what they hear on the news. They barely recognize Huckabee and Romney's names so they must not be important. They hear McCains name all the time, so he must be important so I will vote for him.
