The campaign seemed to be very scattered. From the debates and interviews I saw most of the points conveyed were just straight talking points. I felt Obama had talking points as well but was better able to tailor his speeches to the crowd he was in front of.
I also believe that Obama was more optimistic about the future. He told people there was work to be done but that we can do it together. The helped bolster the mood for many people during a dreary time. I think McCain could have come out being sort of like a wise old father figure. You know, "I have been around and seen what works and doesn't work. Here let me guide you to success." He came out as just wanting to keep doing the same things over and over again.
I think if what has been posted here were taken to heart 3-4 months ago, McCain stood more of a chance to win/be very close in the electoral votes.
