In response to "If he had motivated the base to get that 5%, how much more of the center would he have lost in the process? -- nm" by znufrii

The base didn't find McCain distasteful. It's just that economic concerns trump all other issues when voters are looking at potential job losses down

the line. Obama could have run a campaign banning guns and pro gay marriage and still won. Social concerns are a luxury in good economic times. When trouble hits the economy, people don't vote with their feet, they vote with their pocket.
