Poll question: When was Pres. Obama's "I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE" moment with McCain?
Hindsight being 20/20, of course... :)

2. I'll go with DNC Speech.. because McCain panicked and picked Palin...
But my second choice would be the stock market collapse.

3. Ohio was the big one for me.

I just counted down the moments till I heard the
official " calling it for Obama".

14. For me it was Ohio too.
Everyone was staring at that map on election night, saying "OK, so he's winning the blue states, and McCain's winning the red states...Obama's doing well, but he has yet to win a red state."

When Ohio went, not only was I proud, but it seemed to be the thing that said "OK, that's it. In case you doubted...he's gonna win this thing."

4. Steve Schmidt said he knew it was over when the House Repukes killed the first bailout...
...and then blamed it on Nancy Pelosi being mean to them. That was a dreadful climax to McCain's miserable reaction to the financial crisis.

5. All of the above.
Obama kicked McCain's ass during the convention...and it was all downhill from there.

Even when Palin was picked. If you remember she raised 10 million for the Obama team on the day that she spoke at the convention. Now, that's drinking somebody's milkshake if ever there was!

The look on McCain's face said it all.

7. Oh, that was splendid.
Poor McCain. He'd gone to that well one time too many.

Did McCain really think Obama wouldn't have frigging response if it was going to come up AGAIN in a debate?

dumb, dumb, dumb.

12. Now that the election is over
and President Obama has won, I can feel somewhat sorry for McCain. He truly looked lost when he said "Zero?"

Obama's performance convinced my 90 year old Republican mother to vote for him.

11. In the debate when McCain's first pick for Treasury secretary was an Obama supporter.
He was practically making an Obama commercial at that point--the best millionaire for the job is for the Democrats

15. maliki's comments about withdrawal
that coincided with Obama's Iraq trip. The McCain camp must have been peeing in its pants after that one.
