If McCain was able to get out the vote, he would have won. He had the better message and the most experience. However, He did NOT have the big money and media in his corner. Tough obstacles to overcome. Plus, white people didn't vote for McCain simply because he was white….unlike the record number of black people who blindly followed Obama because of his skin color. AND DON'T CALL ME RACIST, THEY ARE THE ONES BEING RACIST.

****************************************************************************

What exact message did McCain bring? The bashing and the hate? I barely heard what he stood for. I mean no disrespect to him, but come on. And as far as the black vote, the black vote was not the deciding factor. Not one single group of voters gave Obama the victory, it was the fact that he was able to reach every group with his message.

How many voted on a visa from another country, how many frauds gillnet votes was not identified, and how many ware illegal votes not caught?

Um, what?

I thought that conservatives were about personal responsibility. How about taking the responsibility for Republican failures, like McCain's campaign?

Your kidding, right?

If not ,you were not on this planet for its last 365 orbits

if you are a 3rd generation American, you have over a 97% chance of having European, African, and American Indian ancestry whether you know it or like it or not! So says those who have studied genetics!

That is a large part of what led us to Obama! Republicans have been giving us a dose of stupidy for 8 years.... is it any wonder that People have wised up and voted it OUT?

After McCain selected Palin who was so woefully inadequate thinking he would win women voters (as if having a womb is a qualification for political office), it was quite painful to watch the Republicans feeling forced to defend her when they all knew she was not qualified.

Some were tried and true party loyalists to a fault in public like Peggy Noonan who should have been fired by the Wall Street Journal when she wrote what proved to be a false, albeit glowing article in the WSJ about Palin only to say what she really thought that same evening when she thought she was off mike. Others like Christopher Hitchens and David Brooks could not in good conscience support McCain's anti-intellectual choice for VP.

I am glad McCain-Palin lost. They are/were not good for America. Their entire "platform" was to paint Barack Obama as the scary Black guy, who is "not like us." Code for "he is Black." Fortunately for America their tactic of appealing to the insidious racism that is always just beneath the surface did not win them the election.

It was my fervent prayer that when people went into the privacy of the voting booth they would vote for the best qualified candidate and that is just what happened. For once, racism did not win and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream was realized. For once, a man was judged not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character. For that...we can all rejoice!

Though I’m not a Blue Dog (you’ll be meeting with enough of them come January), I am a pound puppy, a pretty pooch, a poi dog extraordinaire.

Now I don’t usually brag, but when they turned on the television at the Hawaii Island Humane Society so we could all watch your victory speech, my ears sure perked up when I heard your promise to your daughters….. that they’d get a puppy to bring with them to the White House. What a paw-some thing to say!

Well I’m cute as they come I tell you. Sure, I’m a poi dog, but you grew up in Hawaii so you know that poi dogs make devoted pets and we come in all shapes, sizes and colors. …and we come in non-allergenic models too!

Among the hundreds of dogs to choose from, how amazingly special would it be for the White House to have a POI dog? Gosh, you’d have a lot of explaining to do when people ask what kind of dog I am, but you’d never have to explain yourself to the millions of people who are looking to you to do the right thing.

We understand each other, you and I. You’ve already announced that your family would rescue a dog. I know you have a big heart. So maybe when you’re in Hawaii in December, you could come by and visit me?

I’ll be the one who looks, well, like I’d do really well in Washington D.C. I’ll be the one who jumps on to Malia or Sasha’s lap. You’ll know I’m the right one. I won’t be perfect; I’ll be a Poi Dog.

A Hui Hou (until we meet).

Our system is so broken. People shouldn't have to stand in 8 or 10 hour lines.

Hey CanIcallyouJoe, your reference to historic Nazi Germany displays you complete ignorance of history.

Honestly, people like you who try to raise yourself by demeaning others make me laugh. Thanks for the entertainment.

Your moniker says it all, you are feeling a lot of pain right now, I imagine.

The Republican "Suppress the Vote" machine was blown up by Obama counter-battery fire.

The Republican "Smear Hate and Lies" machine self-destructed.

The "Respectable McCain Campaign" was strangled in its crib.

The "Straight Talk Express" went through the guard rails and plummeted into the abyss.

The RNC organization collapsed because it had a foundation built on sand and the economic tide came in.

That's the truth for you, I'm sorry it hurts you so, next time pick a more rational and reasonable belief system.

Good, as long as they refuse to accept reality, we will keep winning eleictions by voting straight Dem tickets!

Notice Rasmussen and CNN Polls got it right.

Go Dems!
