Conservatives Begin to Blame McCain for Defeat

The Republicans in this video who are blaming McCain for November defeat are not wrong to do so, but they are making a grave mistake if that is the depth of their thinking, John McCain is a symptom of the problem not the actual problem.
I think George Will is right about the lack of coherence from John McCain, while Barack Obama appeared as calm and ready to lead.
This seems very familiar to the 2004 election, with John McCain now doing many of the same things that John Kerry did.

The 2008 US Election has ended and the people of the United States of America pointed Barack Obama as the new president of the country for the next four years. My fellow Americans, did you think about the issues in play before you cast your vote in the November 4 election? It would be nice to think that most of you did, but I know that the reality of how much people think about their political choices is less than studied. Many of you may even have studied more about whether you should take out a payday advance than who to vote for. As a case in point, check out this brief audio snippet from a recent episode of “The Howard Stern Show,” posted courtesy of BPM Deejays of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Roving Reporter Sal sought the opinions of men and women on the street, to see whether they supported Barack Obama or John McCain for President. Admittedly, they were attempting to gauge whether African-Americans would automatically vote for Obama simply because he’s black. That point is driven home by the location Sal obtains his samples from: Harlem, New York. However, the trick Sal employs in his interviews is telling. By reversing the candidates’ positions on issues like the pro-life argument, stem cell research, the war in Iraq and who Sarah Palin is – attributing McCain’s positions to Obama – Sal gets people to admit that they support all kinds of ideas that Obama wants little or nothing to do with. He exposes the ugly truth that many of us are ignorant when it comes to the issues. We parrot popular opinions and flow along with our peer groups. But when it comes to things like presidential elections and your vote, I hope you thought about it considerably.
