I'll have to google him.

The fact he'd appoint a horrible judge is what matters far more than his inability to recall Sotomayor's name. Give me someone who can't remember it and will appoint better.
I think he is still in shock that anyone would consider Sotomayor to be good enough for the Supreme Court...let alone for her to actually make it there...
But I agree with what you are saying for the most part. It is like when reporters burst in and say "What is the capitol of Azerbajan?" then run off and post how the person is clueless about foreign affairs...

Modernly, someone who is vocal about being tough on terror and who maintains a substantial military and the willingness to deploy it. Certainly I think most Republicans embrace some form of neoconservatism in that way. Even among Democrats, Ron Paul's laissez-faire approach is more than I think most can bear. He is reminiscent of Neville Chamberlain in that way.
I'd agree with you in 2004, but with all of the military blunders as of the last few years, it seems people are more excited about a hands off policy. Obama was popular for the belief that he's against wars and more apt to use diplomacy.
McCain was singing the tough on terror tune, and he lost by a landslide.
She's very well qualified. Even the ABA rated her as highly qualified in their assessment. Now maybe you disagree with her judicial views, I disagree with say Scalia, but each of them are qualified Justices.

On September 1012, 2007 in an Associated Press-Ipsos poll of 1,000 adults conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs, 33% approved of George Bush's handling of the "situation in Iraq", while 65% disapproved of it.[2]Not really. First McCain didn't lose on that - he was ahead in the polls for a bit and the crash of the economy under Republican wet dirty love for deregulation hurt him.
Second, the McCain ticket made outrageous, irresponsible, dishonest attacks on Obama - "likes to pal around with terrorists" was popular - and they did because it got votes.
Third, it wasn't a landslide. It was a healthy win, with the economic disaster, but not a landslide and again was a lot closer/in McCain's favor in polls not long before.
