Comments on: Why has John McCain run such an inept campaign if he managed to beat 7 other Republicans for the nomination? http://campaings.emailonlinenewsletter.com/2009/12/why-has-john-mccain-run-such-an-inept-campaign-if-he-managed-to-beat-7-other-republicans-for-the-nomination/ Newsletter campaigns Sun, 06 Feb 2011 23:06:08 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Keith http://campaings.emailonlinenewsletter.com/2009/12/why-has-john-mccain-run-such-an-inept-campaign-if-he-managed-to-beat-7-other-republicans-for-the-nomination/comment-page-1/#comment-515 Keith Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:34:17 +0000 http://campaings.emailonlinenewsletter.com/2009/12/why-has-john-mccain-run-such-an-inept-campaign-if-he-managed-to-beat-7-other-republicans-for-the-nomination/#comment-515 That's a very good question. I guess you have to look at each candidate individually against McCain. I know Giuliani and Thompson are worse. Thompson is a more obvious war monger and Giuliani is too crooked. Not familiar with Romney. I know Huckabee was out to lunch. He wasn't following the news at all during the primaries and it showed when he spoke. Still....hard to believe McCain beat them all.

Fred Thompson turned out to be a big disappointment as soon as he had to speak without a script. Romney did have business experience and was a governor but the social conservatives didn't really trust him and he comes across as disingenuous. I was surprised about Giuliani, though. I really thought that a pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-gun control, cross-dressing New York City mayor had a chance. Who knew? How formidable was his competition, really?

A lot of people don't care to much for that ability but over the passed several months he has shown a lot of traits of a good leader. Where McCain on the other hand... Likes to do the opposite and divide people? Heh... Probably get a lot of thumbs down on that one too. This section is full of NeoCons. Obama just has a way to inspire people.

I have no idea what his people are thinking. It's certainly not like Obama and Biden aren't giving McCain's people anything to go on the offensive with. I mean Biden guaranteeing that a major international crisis would immediately follow an Obama victory and Obama's comments towards the people of Pennsylvania... it's mind boggling to me that the race is close but I guess we'll see how things go on Election Day.

And he came from last place! The thing is, all the Republican candidates this year were seriously flawed. Romney was a Mormon and completely out of the question with the Religious Right. Huckabee was 'The Christian Candidate' but the party is trying to minimize that these days. Thompson was seen as the next Reagan when he came into the race but he turned out to be just old and tired-looking. Giuliani was just -creepy-. It just wasn't a good year all around for the Republicans. The financial crisis was just the frosting on the cake. I wondered that myself! And he came from last place!

Then either Romney or Huckabee would have won the nomination. With both of them in, the vote that would have won for them was split. McCain picked up the religious right vote and it was enough to beat the other two with a divided conservative vote. Actually, if either Romney or Huckabee hadnt run.
