McCain's biggest mistake was choosing Palin as a VP canidate and people think Obama isn't qualified to be President!
It goes back to McCain's judgement factor. He did not vett her. Then, the campaign constantly (even now) tries to muzzle her - acknowledging there is a serious issue. I have never seen an election where the VP candidate only seeks Fox news. His suspension of the campaign to help economy was another joke. Then you have the crazy fans openly spewing hatred - although, today McCain says he is now running a kindler, gentler campaign (yeah right!).
A larger problem with the Rep party is that so many people complain it simply got hijacked by the religious fanatics - witchcraft-believing Wingnut Palin is a poster child of this. The fiscal responsibility promised by Reps also turned out to be a joke. Knowledge is frowned upon as is science. It may be easy to blame only McCain, but I think there are many other issues Republicans need to deal with.
You're right...this has been building since before 2006.......
