But, noooooooooooooo...
Suspending his campaign and signing the TARP sealed his Tomb. Also ACORN and the left wing media did a few numbers on him also. I truly believe had the media been partisan in reporting Obama's shady background and 1 page resume, it could easily of given McCain the 3-4% vote difference.

IT does NOT matter!!!! Ted Kennedy starts the next campaign with a 3-4% margin. Enough with the media stuff. They are a given and should be treated as such.

McCain wins by being true to himself, the maverick. He failed and, given the magnitude of just how bad an idea TARP was, totally does not deserve to be potus.

All the lesser evil folks are just certain, somehow, he woulda suddenly got some sense had he won.

No the media played a big part but overall the Obama campaign was run better than McCain on all fronts. From the media, (information or surpression of information) money raised, how and where it was spent, lack of debates, use of the internet, ACORN, etc, etc. McCain got beat!

The media ALWAYS plays a big part for the left. Come on.

Does Clinton win in '92 absent a full out watering carrying effort by the press? No. He won re-election on his own. After than, they and they alone kept him in office. Anyone care to recall CNN burying Candy Crowley's Jaunita Brodderick story?

My point is, you count on that bias, like a point spread and know that you start several points down.

McCain, in my view, beat himself. He would have looked gold as Bush and Obama tried to defend the chaos of TARP.

Bias is one thing, Obama campaign news seemed more like an endorsement! I just get this trill up my leg thinking about it!

Mcain looked old and decrepit and came across that way.

Obama looked young and fresh. That was worth 20 points right there.
