Its interesting that the critique by Republican insiders on how the
election was lost by the McCain team is coming out. This morning first
campaign chief Weaver, echoes the choir which is blaming the dark side
stuff, the Ayers stuff, the "Hussein" and "he's a secret Muslim stuff,
the "he's a socialist" stuff, the "he is anti Israel" stuff and the
"he's not a citizen" stuff. They are saying that this low-brow crap
drove moderates and independents into the Obama camp in critical
formerly "red states" like Virginia and Florida and Ohio. People got
tired of the "swift-boat" mentality, and the ugly racist rumor
mongering and it finally caught up with the GOP.

Interesting also is the fact that Republicans who had good performance
records in State offices and did not take the poop chute road, mostly
survived the Democrat sweeps. In Washington State we re-elected a very
competent Republican Attorney General and a Louie Governor (who
handles voting systems here) who ran highroad campaigns. (Yes, I do
still vote for competent Republicans when they have done a good job.)

They are saying that the main mistake was not playing up McCain's
strong suit: his graciousness, his former progressive stance on how to
solve the immigration problem, his "calm hand on the tiller" stuff,
his real differences with the Bushies. ie letting McCain be McCain.

It is ironic that some of the phony crap so favored by McCain's
supporters on ROFF, is now seen as having fatally wounding his
campaign. Good going guys. Keep listening to Butthead (Drug Addict)
Rush Limberg, fill your heads with neo-fascist ideology and maybe you
can drive all the reasonable people out of the Republican Party.
