A couple of important stats from the exit polls

Provided naturally by the invaluable Jim Geraghty:


  • 56 percent of voters opposed the Bailout. A smart Republican comments, "McCain should have made that his issue."
  • Bush voters broke 81-18 for McCain. The 2008 nominee effectively lost 1 in 5 Bush voters

That doesn't sound like any mandate for liberalism to me.
Sounds to me like losing naturally CONSERVATIVE voters is what cost McCain.
