Just a thought, but a few times today I have seen conservative commentators lament the McCain loss and reference Bush's "failure" after Katrina. Katrina was barely mentioned by either party's campaign, so it amuses me to see it coming out of the ashes now.
For the record: Hurricane Katrina had nothing to do with McCain's loss. Nothing whatsoever. Get over yourselves and look at the real problems facing conservatives.
If Katrina was a cause of McCain's failure you would expect to have seen McCain absolutely blown out (pardon the pun) in Louisiana. Instead, he carried the state with 58% of the vote, compared to Obama's 39%. Alabama? 61% to 39%. Mississippi? 57% to 43%. Texas? 55% to 44%.
Obama decisively lost the states hit by Katrina. There was no "Katrina Effect," or if there was it didn't come into play.
Move on and find a better excuse. There's plenty of good ones to choose from.
