If he'd said "look, I have better insight into the Bush Administration, so I have more understanding of how he screwed everything up, so I'm in a better position to fix/avoid those mistakes,", it might have come off better than trying to pretend he's not associated with Bush at all when it's clearly false and everyone knows it. |
It's too complicated a message. Once the Obama campaign started the "8 more years of Bush" slogan McCain lost because he can't provide a substantial response in 5 words or less. "8 more years of Bush" is so easy to remember and invokes such unreasoning emotional responses. It may not be true, but it works. What could McCain do? This continues to be an amazing showcase of how Republicans screwed themselves.
