1. nope
McCain can win the middle the way Hillary can't.

Clinton v. McCain comes down to turnout, and lots of people may turn out to vote against Hillary.

2. Agreed-- he can't beat any of the three
Or Biden.

Ha! All any often three would have to do is run ads showing that hug between Johnny and Bush.

I've been saying that for a while. And, Huckabee and Romney would do even worse.

3. Exactly
...people are trying to spin their candidate over another, but McCain is just Bob Dole all over again.

7. I think it'll be Mittens, not McClueless.
Picturing him in a debate against any of our top 3...well, Mittens, glad you have a fortune to fall back on.

10. Remember Hillary's trip with mccain to Iraq, and they both said progress was getting made?
She has been all over the place on Iraq, more so than any of our other candidates

13. I think it depends on your age and station in life.
Over 45's look and see differently from 20 somethings - 30somethings.

Life experiences what they see when the visualize.

18. No, I don't agree
You underestimate the Republicans Hate for the Clintons, think about it, the Republicans last two presidents are Bushes, and who are the bushes biggest political enemies? Who "stole" elder bushes second term?!

McCain would easily carry his base, which will come out in droves against Hillary, especially the evangelicals

And, independants favor him.

Clinton has no shot against McCain
