I'm sorry, but there's no way that 08 would have been the wave year it was with Edwards on the ticket and the Rielle Hunter thing breaking as an October surprise. Republican turnout disaffected with Bush would've skyrocketed and socially independants would swing hard towards McCain. That's enough for, if not a reasonable victory, at least a respectable defeat for John McCain. Not only that, but I think it's fair to assume close down-ballot races elections otl (NH, MN, and NC senate, plus a few house races) swing the other way. Still comfortable control of Congress for Dems, but nowhere near otl's landslide
