I think the Dems could have owned this election had they not tried to be so 'nouveau' in its candidates. I do believe that if Obama was not Muslim he would stand a pretty good chance of winning. Americans might be over the whole war in the middle east/war against terrorism/war for oil (whatever your favorite term is), but they still harbor a fear and hatred for what extreme muslims have done. For much of America, their first and only muslim experience and introduction was 9/11. Had Colin Powell run in Osama's (oops, Obama's) place I don't think it would have even been close.
