>> Why do you think the (R)'s lost the presidency after Bush? No particular order. 1. R's choice of McCain, a great man but weak candidate. 2. McCain's choice of Palin, which created serious concerns for many. 3. Obama was an excellent teleprompter reader and came across as inspirational; combined with the voting public's inability to recognize a snake-oil salesman when they saw him. 4. Obama was black, giving him an automatic edge of maybe 12.5% 5. Bush was a lousy public speaker and never articulated adequately the rationale for the Iraq War in a way that people could understand it. 6. The Democrat-caused economic collapse was on Bush's watch. 7. Numerous others of lesser importance.
