Blame The Party, Not The Campaign

Published on October 31, 2008 in Politics. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

The truth is that there was little Mr McCain, or his campaign, could do with a party falling apart at the seams. When Mr McCain announced his second run for the presidency on April 25 2007 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the Republican brand was already tarnished, perhaps beyond repair. At that time, a poll for Democracy Corps, a non-profit polling organisation I co-founded, found that his party was viewed more negatively than positively by far, with 47 per cent of likely voters giving it poor marks and just 34 per cent viewing it positively. At that point 66 per cent of likely voters thought the country was on the wrong track. Of course, it only got worse as the campaign and George W. Bush’s horrendous presidency trudged on. Our latest poll finds that 79 per cent say the country is headed in the wrong direction.

FT.com / Home UK / UK – Blame the party, not the campaign.

A great piece in the Financial Times by James Carville chronicling the atmosphere that McCain faced in this election as a Republican.  Makes you wonder what the future holds for Republicans if things this November don’t go as planned.
