Tough To Win When You’re Losing 1 in 5 From Four Years Ago

Some amazing numbers in the exit polls, many called to my attention in my Twitter feed.

  • 56 percent of voters opposed the Bailout. A smart Republican comments, “McCain should have made that his issue.”
  • Bush voters broke 81-18 for McCain. The 2008 nominee effectively lost 1 in 5 Bush voters.
  • 16 percent of Hillary voters backed McCain. The PUMAs exist, but not in numbers large enough to have made a difference, it seems.
