Even now, there is little enthusiasm for Romney's efforts. It was just McCain grasping at straws. After 8 years of Bush, just about any Democrat could have won in 08. And McCain was up against the most powerful speaker and charismatic politician we have seen. Bill, for all his genius, can't make a speech that tops Obama's articulate and uplifting messages.
