The Bush effect
A telling stat from NBC’s First Read and an illustration that the real author of this Republican rout was not John McCain but George W. Bush:
with the exception of Missouri, Obama won every state where Bush’s approval rating was below 35%, and he lost every state where Bush’s approval was above 35%.

November 13th, 2008 8:00pmGeorge W. Bush has been thoroughly demonised for more than 8 years and is a scapegoat. BarryHO referred to him constantly even after McCain's pithy, "you should have run 4 years ago" comment. Even here in Canada, politicians constantly linked GWB with our Conservative Prime Minister in order to try and win the recent election. Hating George is simply the fashion. It's a tribal thing and it works.
Witness the Nazis in the 1930s who used this tactic.
