I am actually starting to think that Democrats would be better off if McCain won this election, much like they would have been better off if Ford won in 1976 or George HW Bush in 1992.
I don't think so. Granted, it is not a good time to be president, but yet ANOTHER loss in a contest that was as winnable as they get would be devastating. Democrats already can't believe that they lost TWICE to the worst president in US history.
I have often said that if the Democrats don't win this time they should just give up. In fact, I would not be surprised if a loss this time won't send them the way of the Whigs.
