IMO, McCain could have had Jesus as his running mate, he wasn't going to stop the momentum. 2008, after Iraq and Afghanistan, was a 100% Democrat victory. Even I saw that coming. Even people who supported the wars, had doubts when we didn't leave right away. The fact that a young, African American guy from Harvard was running....even my Republican father voted for Obama. It might be one of the greatest opportunistic grabs of all time.
