No I'm blaming his victory on several thing, but without one of those several things he wouldn't have won.
1. college kids
2. the housing market
3. Bush' approval rating
Take away any of these 3 things and McCain would've won. Yes, college kids are a small percentage but if McCain would've picked up 4 points, then he would have won being that he only lost by 6-7. So yes I can blame it on college kids in a way.
That makes no sense, according to your numbers if he picked up those four percentage points he still would have lost by two or three points.
