Fixed, they didn't vote for him because he was running against Obama, and Obama appealed to voters as someone who would do more to actually help people who needed help on the domestic front. World politics are, in the end more important than domestic ones, or at least of more consequence in certain conditions. But, when there's a trillion and a half in student loan debt, artificial scarcity of antibiotics, and anyone who's parents didn't leave them a fortune can only dream of owning a modest home without dying of old age before the mortgage is paid....appealing to domestic issues can bring votes. I mean, it's hard to worry about what's happening in the bigger picture when the vast majority of people are trying to keep their power bill paid and keep the water from being turned off.
Minimum wage is 7.25 an hour, after payroll deductions that's about 5 bucks. So even at 60 hours a week, that's 300 bucks a week. Some people are just dumb and incompetent and can't get better jobs, and those people can vote. If a society is to be judged based on how it treats it's poor...there's something to think about here when someone could try and pull up by their own bootstraps, work 60 hours a week, and still not have enough money for basic food, occasional checkups at the doctor, dental work, housing etc.
If McCain had run against Hillary, then he would have been president.

Dating a stripper is like eating a noisy bag of chips in church. Everyone looks at you in disgust, but deep down they want some too.
