LAT: Next week, as Clinton and Obama gouge each other's eyes out, Mccain will be winning the GE

[Tropics_Dude83]

As a war hero, true patriot, adult in charge, etc.

He's beginning his electoral campaign for the general next week!

Meanwhile, the circular firing squad continues with our so-called party elders saying "Let it go to July!"

This needs to end now.

Title is my interpretation

Here's a quote:

If the past month is any guide, while McCain lays down these markers, Obama and Clinton will be gouging each other. In the past few days, Democrats have witnessed one prominent Obama supporter liken former President Bill Clinton to Joseph McCarthy and one prominent Clintonite liken New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson to Judas (for endorsing Obama). The Clinton campaign says that Obama can't be trusted as commander-in-chief, and the Obama campaign says that Hillary Clinton can't be trusted, period. Each Democratic candidate is now providing so many lacerating quotes about the other that Republican ad-writers may not need to do much more this fall than cut and paste. Even more important, by focusing so relentlessly inward, the Democrats are providing McCain an open field to re-introduce himself.

This spring might have looked very different, as a new study of the candidates' finances from George Washington University's Campaign Finance Institute suggests. In February alone, Obama and Clinton collected a combined $90 million, dwarfing McCain's $11 million. Through his entire campaign, McCain has raised $66 million compared with Clinton's $174 million and Obama's $197 million. The disparity is even greater among small donors, who are rapidly becoming the critical engine of presidential financing. Obama and Clinton last month collected nearly $48 million in donations of $200 or less. For McCain the tally was just over $2 million. Every 30 hours, the two Democrats raised as much from small donors as McCain did all month.
