    Closer, but also, everyone was sick of the Republican bullshit as Bush was on his way out and the economy was collapsing. McCain had a really hard sell.

      McCain was such a strange thing. For years he had a comparatively good reputation on the left. Like, he seemed like the reasonable Republican. Then he goes to try to get elected president, picks up a Tea Party running mate, and pushes hard to the right. It was a bit disorienting.

      Yeah. I still see Obama winning, but not by as large of a blowout that it was.
