The Media does not elect Presidents, voters do an duing th campaign and debates people got to see who each candidate was,what they stood for and obvioulsy decide that 8 years of Republican Rule was enough

Also most Republicans who ran for ant ofice, be it the House, or Senate were non to eager to have Bush Appear with him, and i didnot see Bush activly campagining for McCain, yes he endorsed him with McCain at the White House, but one would excpet a same party Prsident to endorse the Candate of his Party for President, i never saw Bush on the trail with McCain if he was it was very lmited appaerances

whatthis Country needs to do, whether it happens or not is another question is abolish the electral college and elect the Prsident based soely on Popular vote, as i said the electroal college is old, outdated ect, byt the current realuity is that you need thos votes to win the White House what you get Popular vote wise means nothing right now,
