It shouldn't be a surprise, though. Obama didn't win the presidency because he was qualified. He won because America was in full anti-Bush mode last year and voted with its heart instead of its brain.
Now, we're seeing atonement for the mistake.
God help the Democrats in next year's midterms. :)
Many people wanted to see a black man as president, You had the black vote and the white guilt vote going in Obama's favor.
John McCain failed to differentiate himself from President Bush for a public that did not want more of the same and He was too advanced in age to be a good prospect for taking on a high stress job like the presidency. The impression people had was that the McCain-Palin ticket was the equivalent of having Bob Dole Paired with Dan Quayle.
