He ran a very good campaign and considering the headwinds that McCain had in this cycle he did fine. Byron York has a repeat/revised piece about what sank McCain. When I read the original article I got very depressed and the new piece is pretty on target.

What is interesting is Obama received the same number of votes as Bush in 2004 (~62 million) but McCain has received about 3 million less than Kerry did so the the projections of a historic turnout seems to be off target. The difference appears to be the increased black vote and the Republican base staying away. Exactly as Obama's campaign planned. As I said in earlier posts, shame on us.

We will now see whether he is more ambitious than ideological. I am hoping for ambitious. I will repost my predictions for the next two years and see how I do.
