Worst Campaign Ever?

If Obama does not cut industry and corporate America some slack and get people back to work in this country
he is doing us all a disservice. Increasing taxes on the very people that decide if your job is safe tomorrow is not the answer. Give them incentives to bring the jobs BACK TO THS USA. If we pay a little more for goods and services that's better than letting someone else reap all the profits for delivering the goods to us. We have forgotten what hard work means in this country. We want it all and don't want to put forth the effort to get it. This is the message we are giving our children and it is WRONG!

and he is more white than black???? your right they didn't know anything

People did NOT vote for Obama just because he was black, most well-educated whites, latin americans, arab americans, asian americans, gays and lesbians, voted for Obama. Apparently 'an american nightmare=obama' is not amongst the well educated crowd.
Go preach your holier than thou attitude elsewhere, the time for change has begun, and you and your ilk shouldn't have a part in it.
Go somewhere else and be ignorant.

One issue that McCain had is that the MSM was extremely biased in favor of Obama, which I think partially drove his choice of Palin. She was an outsider, which fit his image, but she also was not on of the people that had campaigned against McCain in the past. An honest person would admit that if McCain had chosen someone like Romney, the MSM would have been playing up the prior comments from Romney against McCain, something they refused to do with Biden and Obama. The media also went negative against McCain, allowing Obama to remain out of it - they were doing the dirty work for him. When McCain fought back with similar rhetoric against Obama, that same media now labeled him as "going negative".

Obama is a good orator, and who knows what type of president he will be, we will find out. In this specific case though, the MSM did not do their job in vetting the candidates, but instead picked one and stood behind him no matter what, crushing any opposition, be it Hillary or McCain, that may have gotten in Obama's way. Remember when Hillary was the favorite of the media, and even she was thrown under the bus.

The next four years will be interesting as now the media is going to have to continue their spin to remain consistent, hopefully trying to spin the economy positive, but I don't know that the remaining people with money will buy their story and those without will be unable to participate, except with the redistributed funds, which will dry up eventually as well.

Frankly even George Bush looked good compared to McCain.
It surely was not country first, it was McCain whatever it takes first. He betrayed his own party who remained loyal up to last night. I am sure the post mortem will reveal that McCain damaged his own party as much as himself. I am sure he will retire and I hope the shame will not drag him down but his campaign was a disgrace like a Disney movie as Matt Damon stated. It was not his best days. Palin was a good sport and did her best but no at all presidential or cabinet experience. Perhaps talk show host or cameo roles in movies.
My wish for 2009 ;1) no more mavericks or reverse mavericks , lead your peers and your party then you earn the right to represent the people in the highest office of the land. 2) The party should take more control by creating a shadow cabinet as they do in Ireland and Britain- the people get a chance to see how the party leaders and shadow cabinet perform and avoid spending $2 billion on silly adverts. This may be the way for the Republican Party to recover and be agents for change for the better.

i favored John McCain during the primariies without thinking hard enough on it . From the time of his selection as the republican to the convention he had lost time and clearly had difficulty in selecting a VP;
did not understand of VP is to be ready to be President not as McCain said to attend state funerals. His attitude was similar on the economy. The trigger to side against McCain was triggered by the VP selections; Obamas selected a good experienced politician while McCain

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.

I'm lol that anyone in the media has the nerve to even ask this question. The media selected BO from the beginning. First, you pushed out Hilliary by your biased reporting, and then you went after McCain. You also dispensed a bevy of reporters and investigators to vett Palin, but you turned a blind eye to everything even slightly distasteful about BO. Shame on you. This is the year you all took professional out of the term professional journalism. You are nothing but a PR firm for the DNC. When I see the news now, I wonder what your're not telling me, or how you have twisted the facts in a story. It's not the fact that BO is president that I'm particularly sad about, it's HOW he got selected by the press that has me scared. I don't trust anything you say.

Nothing went wrong with McCain, if Obomb was Republican, and McCani was Democratic. Obomb still would have won the election. So many stupid ingorant black people that have NEVER voted and know NOTHING about politics voted just BECAUSE he was black. End of Story

Even after the populace has spoken, most of you are spewing hate and discord...when will it end? Realize the days of bigotry and discord, although not yet over...is coming to and end.
