I thank Katie Cauric because without her sharp and intelligent interogation of Sahra Palin, the outcome of the election would not have been so decisive. If you read this piece by the New York Times' John Howard, you will know why I say that. I guess Many Republicans stayed home apparently because they were disgusted with thier candidates.
Democrats Have G.O.P. to Thank, at Least in Part
By JOHN HARWOOD Published: November 9, 2008
In the battleground state of Ohio, where Mr. Kerry lost the presidency to George W. Bush, the 2.74 million votes he received almost precisely matched Mr. Obama’s 2008 total. Mr. Obama won because John McCain received 300,000 fewer votes than Mr. Bush did.
That points to a cautionary reminder for Mr. Obama and his team: the election turned partly on what they did right, but also on what Republicans did wrong. And there is no assurance that Democrats will confront a similarly star-crossed opposition in elections to come.
