If the answer is "yes" you win the argument. If the answer is "no", I win.

What argument? I think the the "hate Bush" syndrome was real to an extent. I don't think people were really looking at the issues and where the candidates stood on said issues. For instance, the extreme left, which dominated the internet, spent the last 4 years spewing anti-Bush venom and demanding ultra-left policies from Hussein Obama for their votes.
Needleess to say...they are not happy with Comrade Obama. People were voting with emotion instead of their pocket book or rational policies.
Of course this is just my opinion...but I read alot of political blogs the last couple of years, so I think I have a fairly good handle on some issues.
