It is interesting. I was just thinking, and you will find posts by me that agree with this, I originally thought McCain would be okay and that I could live with either McCain or Obama. I now realize that the major thing that changed my mind (besides Sara Palin) was the posts by the far right folks on this forum. While they were trying to discredit Obama and pick up votes for McCain, they turned me against McCain. Interesting. I wonder how many were turned away because of their posts?
There were a few. At one time the posters were split and by the end any internal poll here was strongly Obama.
I could never identify with many of the McCain supporters on this forum.
Me either.
I suspect most of them just voted Republican because they view the whole process as if it were a football game.
It's been leaking out around the edges, since the election was over, that many of them didn't really want McCain as the GOP candidate, many blame him for their loss, so...
If the John McCain who delivered the concession speech on November 4th had been the John McCain who ran for president in 2008, I would have had a lot more difficult time in the voting booth.
The speechgiver was McCain 2000. I voted for him in the primary in 2000 before bush hired KKKarl Rove to shoot him out of the saddle, and would have supported him for president.
Palin was good for comic relief, but she really scared a lot of people away from McCain, me included, definitely. I'm glad she's back in Alaska killing turkeys and planning Bristol's wedding. It'll keep her busy and out of the political arena.
Ah... Bristol and Levi ARE getting married, aren't they? Anybody heard anything?
The John MCain of 2000 might well have won. It would have been tough for me to decide.
