You seem to understand government pretty well, but not politics. Good luck predicting the next election Kura.

I didn't support the McCain candidacy and never gave a **** about what he was saying.
I, like pretty much everybody else, weighed a couple of very basic factors:
A supposedly moderate longtime white Republican vs. a black one term Democrat
Race is a major issue in this country, which your "argument" is completely discarding. If you would like to debate this fact, feel free to explain all of the "HE IS A MUSLIM TERRORIST" and "HE IS NOT AMERICAN" talk coming out of the Midwest and South without bringing race into it. Fat, ignorant rednecks are afraid of a black man with a funny name, which was always my contention (and has been proven to be very true.)
A truly moderate McCain would absolutely have a leg up against Obama, and virtually everybody but the far left fringe acknowledged this a year ago.
Of course, nobody knew that McCain was going to bend over backwards to court the religious right and run one of the most incompetent campaigns in US history a year ago.
I'm not sure why this enrages you.
People draw conclusions based upon available data.
Sometimes circumstances change and these conclusions become invalid.
For some reason you and a couple of other childish douchebags are hung up on this.
I can't quite understand it, because there is no logical reason to do so--it isn't like I still believe that Obama can't win. On the contrary. I think he has a far better shot than McCain at this point.
Care to explain why you're making an ass of yourself?
