John McCain didn't just lose the election, he butchered it. This had to be the worst run campaign ever in the history of the United States of America. McCain, so afraid of being seen as partisan, refused to use the most damaging issues against his opponent and instead, just kept repeating "I fought for you; I'll veto pork spending; I'll fix the economy - I know how to do it." Never once did he attempt to place blame on those who caused the mortgage meltdown and the resulting decline in the economy. Instead, he repeatedly blamed it on Wall Street executives.
