Worst Campaign Ever?

What's sad is that Obama's campaign was run by others, he was simply a mouthpiece. Now, this mouthpiece with absolutely no substance is our president. We will have to wait and see how he handles the economy, foreign countries, and all the complexities that he was so critical about Bush for handling day to day. Now he will be under the microscope.
Dont forget almost 50,000 000 DID NOT vote for Obama, so there's quite a few out there that are unhappy today, and some Independents, etc. who did vote for him only did so because they were so unhappy about Bush's reign, they just wanted out.
Everyone talks about his winning as being a dream come true for the minorities; do they even understand what's at stake here? Who cares about how this is for the blacks, we are in trouble here.

A minimum of research will show you that the "kill him" comment was debunked by the Secret Service a LONG time ago. You should correct this piece accordingly.

Brooklyn gurl is just another ignorant black living in the ghetto of new york who voted black because she is black and everyone else who is black was voting black and would of lied and said she voted black if she didnt as to not upset the black comunity she lives in.

Obama is a muslim

Comment: I must say that it felt pretty good to see the media not harping over a Black Man and his faults for once in the history of my lifetime. Finally a good old boy and his gal pal were able to feel the intrusion, hostility and racism that the black man is subject to everyday. The Republicans have had a good run. Now it is time to move over and get ready for change.

Crazy talk.. The secret service did NOT debunk this...never at any point. They simply made a statement that they were not aware of anything at the time of the occurence. In fact ANY reasonable review of the audio tapes of the event will clearly demonstrate that this occured. Stop watching FOX and actually DO the research you wish others would do.

McCain was the wrong candidate in the wrong place at the wrong time. This problem was further compounded when he allowed the former Bush/Rove "hit team" to run his campaign. They tried to sell American voters an agenda of negativity and fear. It backfired and hurt McCain badly. Finally, the boneheaded selection of Sarah Palin as VP sent McCain's floundering campaign quickly into the tank. The GOP should be ashamed and embarrased by the amateur effort put forth by the McCain campaign.

Could one person here , give me three examples of how Palin was scary ?

First, let me state that I voted for Obama - simply because I strongly believe the country needs a change, and because I believe Obama's political idealogy on the "issues" (as he has expressed that idealogy during the campaign) most closely resembles my political idealogy. I'm clearly moderate, and I believe President-elect Obama spoke more effectively to the moderates (right and left). However, in the end I don't necessarily believe it was McCain's campaign that lost the election, although I'll agree it was a weak campaign in comparison to the campaign run by Obama's team. The fact is that McCain was defeated with significant help from the clearly liberal media and the fact that Obama outspent McCain by a margin of 5 to 1. Incredible. Take away the clear support of a liberal national media (that arguably should remain issue neutral) and Obama's bottomless budget for marketing, and it may have been a closer race. So, the only lesson learned from an election like the 2008 Election is that the candidate who wins over the national media (or who sides with the liberal national media) and who has the biggest campaign budget probably stands the best chance to come out on top. Unfortunately, this basically tells the world it's not necessarily about who is the most qualified candidate or who might be better suited for the Presidency; but rather, it says only the best campaign strategists will win.

That said, it's certain that politicians need to better understand that the country is vastly made up of moderates and not extremists. You can't play to the extremes and expect to win. Now, it's critically important that we as a nation get behind President Bush to make the last days of his Presidency as productive as possible, and we all need to rally behind President-elect Obama to give him the support that he will definitely need to be an effective President in these very turbulent times.

The one thing that I will remeber about this election is not the fact that Obama is the first African-American to be elected, but the fact that the majority of Americans have displayed such ugly, hostile behavior towards non-Obama supporters. Hate and the insistance of immorral acts will only bring about the wrath of Almighty God. What shame our forfathers must have at this moment! Not because Obama was elected, but because the people are rejecting God. America was blessed because we trusted in God in the past. Shut Him out and watch His blessings be no longer!
