DeleteJust as critics of John Major have to say that Labour ought therefore to have won the 1992 Election, and just as opponents of EU membership have to say that Labour ought to have won one or both of the 1970 and 1983 Elections, so those who say that Obama ought never to have been President have to explain why they think that McCain ought to have won.
Those who say that Obama ought not to have been re-elected have to explain why they think that Romney ought to have won.
Or, the American system's being the American system, those who say that Obama ought not to have been the nominee in 2008 have to explain why they think that Clinton ought to have been that nominee.
