What ever gave you that hope?

Kind of my point. The election strategy wins the election. It has nothing to do with the best message. This was further driven home by McCain's campaign manager saying that it's all about personalities. I see the beginnings of painting Obama as a junior politician... potraying him MAYBE as qualified as his inexperienced VP running mate. The more Obama keeps punching back defending himself against Palin, he appears less presidential. Obama has smart people working for him and they will find a way to strike back at McCain/Palin in a similar way. The message has been long gone from this election.
Yes it's idiocy... I'm always amazed at the willingness to attribute the idiocy to only one party, but so be it. We're entitled to our opinions.
