McCain lost because he did not distance himself enough from Bush. If McCain would have started talking like a libertarian or like Ron Paul, then maybe people would have believed he is different than Bush. McCain moving to the center is a failure because mcCain has no chance to beat obama in the center if Obama moves to the center.
I am truly glad that McCain did not nominate ron paul as vp. I am glad that McCain did not start talking like a free-market libertarian because I am sure it would have been lies. If the USA will turn into socialism, I prefer a genuine liberal democrat such as Obama to do it. A republican like McCain will more likely create socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor. At least Obama seems to be a fair person. Obama seems to actually care about the welfare of the people, unlike McCain who seems to care more about soldiers and war.
McCain is simply a big failure. He is almost as stupid and stubborn as Bush. Unlike Bush, he unfortunately had an opponent who was difficult to defeat. People like Bush can only be elected during fantastic times ... such as following a Clinton presidency and stock market boom.
McCain in 2000 maybe could have beaten Al Gore. Back in 2000, most people had no clue how bad life would become under Bush. I hope Americans have learned the dangers of electing republicans to the presidency. I think it will be several decades before Americans forget about Bush.
