The other main difference is just how polarizing the VP pick was. Once Palin was named to the ticket it seemed like the crazies were coming out of the woodwork and making their presence known in a very vocal way. It drove away the independants and the more moderate conservatives.
Its my opinion, and obviously pure speculation, that with a better VP pick, McCain could very likely be in the whitehouse right now.

I agree that Biden stayed in the background. Then again, after Palin was picked, so did McCain. Blame the media, blame the GOP, DNC....whatever, but it was messed up from the day she got picked.
The crazies....well I don't disagree at all. Thats what turned me off from the pick. Seeing all the morons coming out and pledging their support. As if the social issues are the only things that matter.
As for McCain winning.....could be. I bet a lot of people are regretting their decision right now. Obama's approval rating is below 50% already. Worse than George W. Bush.
Bush was at 68% his first year, 71% his second year.
Then again, Bush didn't have to deal with a recession. And yet, Obama screwed the pooch big time there so he deserves all the negativity he's getting.
