Not really, people were swooning over Obama, especially the media and still are. We have no free press left in our country except for FOX, about the only media to criticise him. That's why Obama can't stand them.
Very true. McCain's campaign actually picked up steam after Palin was announced and began hitting the campaign trail.
After eight years of Bush there was no Republican on earth who could have won the elections. A Dem was going win no matter which Dem was nominated.
Very true.
A better candidate than McCain might have made it a more interesting election, but after 8 years of Republicans in the WH, there was no way McCain was going to win.
Think about it this way: the country elected an absentee junior senator -- from the most corrupt state in the country -- who had never held a meaningful job in his life, and had never really accomplished anything in his life. To the highest office in the land.
We elected an empty resume who years later would reveal himself as someone afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder as president.
He would have had a much better chance at winning.
No matter who he had picked, it would still have been challenge for him to win. GWB was largely considered an unpopular president, and therefore it was a given that Obama would win the general election of 2008. Even if the Democrat candidate had been Hillary or even John Edwards, that person would still have won the general election.

If McCain was more aware of the Economy and didn't pick Palin...
