and the downward spiral it's been in, low-information voters were never going to remember that Bush and Friends were squarely responsible for it. They were bound to blame whoever took over in 2008, ESPECIALLY since it was Dems who took over. It didn't help of course that Dems squandered the time by trying to play nice with Republicans who never had any intention of "reaching across the aisle".

That, and people seem to love to vote against their own best interests.
