    This is McCains biggest down fall.

    Here's the deal.

    He came from behind to win the GOP race so the media starts to make an icon of his wife.

    Then he picks a VP and the media makes her an instant icon.

    Then he mentions Joe the plumber and the media makes him an instant icon.

    I probably left out a few.

    So all McCain's supporter start talking about the icon instead of McCain.

    I know more shit about Palin right now than I know about McCain.

    And that is where his big downfall comes.

    The question is did the media have a choice?
    Well they either focused on other people as a fluke or they decided that McCain
    didn't provide enough fodder for the news.
    Either way, it definately killed his chances.

    Obama never had any icons on his side take away the lime light.

    Of course there are other factors(like 100 yrs in Iraq), but this would hurt any campaign.

              Obama and McCain are both just tools and your vote will not change anything.

                  This is exactly what I think. I have yet to hear anything he would bring to the table..... and I have seriously watched all of this, so I could make a more educated vote this time.. but I haven't heard one thing he plans to actually do.

                              His biggest downfall was picking Palin as a running mate. He might as well have picked Biddy or LC.

                                  That and the fact that he too often addresses people "My friends" which is actually the hallmark of someone who doesnt have many friends.

                                          Regardless of the politics, Obama has outplayed McCain and almost every turn... One just has to look at the campaigns themselves and how well or poorly they've been run and the judgment of the leaders at running them, to see who would make the better leader for the US.

                                              I think his biggest down fall was that he changed message a dozen times. He started out being the "Maverick" who was not gong to be run by special interest and lobbyist only to find out most of his staff was made up of lobbyist. So he fires them and changes direction. Then he becomes the tough guy who will win the Iraq war and get Bin Laden. But that doesn't seem to work either. Then he launches the hail mary and brings in Palin. She charges up the base and gets people talking and suddenly he wants to be the maverick again only this time he is the ultra-conservative maverick. But when people start to realize that the hockey mom might not have been a good pick and she goes on TV and says the word maverick more times than I can count he maybe realizes that people don't want a president who will go off on tangents and do crazy things at a whim so he changes direction again and wants to be the guy who has principles and doesn't "pal around with terrorist". When that doesn't catch on finally he decides he is the guy who will suspend his campaign and run back to Washington to fix the economy.

                                              The guy can't seem to pick a message and he makes one bad decision after another and it makes him look like he is unstable. I think people just got sick of him because they weren't sure what John McCain they were getting. Obama pretty much stayed on message and ran a masterful campaign that made McCain always look like he was scrambling to keep up and McCain played right along by flip flopping all over the place in an effort to catch lightning in a bottle.

                                                      Taxes.
                                                      He should have promised Tax cuts to the middle class.
                                                      And cutting government spending...the complete opposite of Obama.

                                                      But tax cuts mainly for the rich?
                                                      WTF was he thinking?

                                                      McCain goes on and on about Obama 'Spreading the Wealth' ,
                                                      but Joe Public is just thinking .. "Well so what, that sounds good to me.."

                                                      Someone needs to remind McCain that the poor outnumber the rich, and they all have one vote.

                                                                                                  He should have jumped parties after 2000 like he was considering. He probably would have been elected president in 2004 as a Democrat.

                                                                                                      1. Palin, who is in this only for herself and the books and TV shows that will soon follow.

                                                                                                      2. His statement he doesn't understand the economy and their admission that they can't win talking about it.

                                                                                                      And I think this one closed the deal for Obama.......

                                                                                                      3. Focusing so hard on Obama's "transfer of wealth." Fact is, this benefits the vast majority of voters. Every time he talks about this, it gives votes to Obama.

It doesn't matter who won the Republican nomination, they weren't going to get by this. The country decided years back that this war was dumb and John McCain supported it and is from a party that supported it. The economy is bad and people see the Republicans had control and would rather try something new.

                                                                                                                                      Other paths he could have/should have taken are

He could have become an independent and challenged Bush in 2004, (He possibly could have won a 3 way race against Bush and Kerry) or still waited until this year but run as an independent.

Not to mention he's not a very good salesman making his current pitch because he doesn't believe it himself.

                                                                                                                                      2) He could have run as a maverick to get the republican nomination instead of selling out. Giuliani and Romney were splitting the supply side/pro business vote, and Huckabee was getting the religious vote, he still won the nomination because of the national security voters and independents, but he married himself to Bush along the way.

Ok I guess it could be cleaned, maybe. Shouldn't someone take better care of not getting such stains on expensive garments- especially if they were not bought with your own money and you plan on giving them away.

There are some really good ideas in that ad and speech.

He's not a country cowboy and he's running on George Bush's country boy game plan and pitching to George Bush's constituency. He gambled on going with what worked last time and lost. Just like the web... just because you made money doing something 2 years ago, doesn't mean that you're going to be able to do that same thing now and succeed.
                                                                                                                                                                              A lot has changed during GWBs second term. McCain ignored that and decided to go against his own grain and pretend to be a typical religious, extremely pro war (that he is), anti-science, anti-evolution, tax cuts for the wealthy, good ole boy candidate when that is just not who he is.
                                                                                                                                                                              Then, in an attempt to pander to GWBs base(not McCains true base) and to make up for his insecurity about not being hardcore GWB republican enough to win, he goes out and gambles on a cowgirl VP. The gimmic worked for a minute but again was just not true to McCain. True to McCain was Leiberman.
                                                                                                                                                                              Love it or loath it, Obama is what you see is what you get. Obama's out preaching Obama to the Obama choir while McCain is out trying to preach GWB to the GWB-ites. Now, everything he says and all his ads and his VP pick and his campaign all sounds like bullshit... because it is. Instead of gambling on being true to himself and running as himself along with selecting Leiberman, he gambled on selecting a GWB-ish VP nominee to shore up the base (ie trick the people) and pretend to be GWB's people's man of the hour.
                                                                                                                                                                              Maybe it was his only chance and maybe he might have fared worse had he been true to himself but that's the choice he made, it was the wrong one and the consequences are at hand.
