It didn't matter who went up against Obama in 2008. The economic disaster was 100% successfully pinned on Republicans with not even a "no contest" out of Bush.
It makes more sense to blame it on Bush than on say Barney Frank, which the right tried do so. That said, I'm pretty sure there's plenty of blame to go around.
money pit that was the war on terror was 100% successfully pinned on Republicans despite every single Democrat voting for it with again a "no contest" out of GOP leadership
But not for Iraq. The GOP allowed itself to be the stooges of the neocons and even called people opposing the war in Iraq 'traitors'. In retrospect, can people not admit that Obama was right when he said that he did not oppose wars, just dumb wars like the one in Iraq?
The race was Obama's to lose and with all the support from the former CIA director's son, they made sure it would be his turn.
Yes, Obama was very charismatic and had the media's strong backing. I don't think anyone could have won. Romney just made it easy to beat him.
