That's pretty artful casuistry, Nitro. If "McCain watched Reagan's tax policies work, and believed in them," as you say, why didn't he use them as Obama and Reagan did---and won?
It can't be excused as poor skills on McCain's part; he had all the communications tools at hand and two years to use them. It was Obama who used Reagan's pitch of fighting for average Americans, not McCain.
I posted here last week that "Obama is in" because "the conservatives gave it away." There wasn't a world of doubt on election night. One early glimpse of the gathering crowds at Grant Park, with enough flags for a coronation, proved it.
With all the polls blinking blue, the only question was whether it would be a landslide. Let's be honest with ourselves: with rampant greed ruining millions of Americans, a promise of more equitable distribution of wealth was appealing.
