Quote from Clubber Lang:
Obama was elected despite the fact that he is a socialist, was mentored by a white-hating preacher, had very little experience, and can't speak in public without a teleprompter.
Get a good slogan and promise the people everything and you can get elected.
I don't think Obama could have won if we didn't have the October financial melt down. McCain had forged a lead after the convention and it was strengthening until the crisis. Then, he handled it wrong and represented the incumbent party. Game over.
