People need to stop blaming the media.
People need to stop blaming money.
Blame John McCain. This was his campaign. He chose his running mate. He chose his campaign advisers. He gave the speeches. He put his name on commercials and ads.
A few points:
-What if McCain had picked Romney (or Pawlenty) instead of Palin? Chances are, with the economy in the state it's in, he would have looked like a genius.
-What if McCain has SHOWED us how he's different from Bush rather than just saying "I'm not Bush." We know he's not Bush-but he didn't paint a clear picture of how he's different (the dem talking point "voted with Bush 90% of the time" didn't help).
-What if McCain had actually run a cleaner campaign, sticking to the issues rather than using scare tactics? What if he had actually been a cordial, respectful opponent to Obama?
-What if McCain had run as…McCain. It's not enough to SAY you're a maverick-he didn't act like one.
Just to name a few…
I think this is going to be the year of "what ifs" for the republican party. They really should have run away with this election. Instead, they panicked, and are now blaming everyone and everything else for losing the election.
In 2012, pick a legitimate candidate (not a candidate who couldn't win the nomination 8 years earlier), run a cleaner campaign, stick to the republican message, and republicans will take back the senate and White House.
