McCain has a good chance against Hillary. She has shot herself in the foot uncounted times.
One of the ones McCain will enjoy most--and it would play like gangbusters--is the contrast between her priorities and his--as demonstrated in her advocacy of the Woodstock museum. His pitch-perfect response: "I'm sure it was a cultural and pharmaceutical event. I was tied up at the time". A sardonic understated national hero. Versus a garden-variety seamy politician (Hillary).
And those who think she's been "vetted" so much nothing new can come out don't reckon with her helpful spouse--who still is getting involved in problems. A gem recently noted was his deal with an industrialist to get a mining interest in a former USSR republic. Accomplished, according to the NYT, by whitewashing the wretched human rights and fair-election record of said leader. A record which, among other people, Bill's wife had been criticizing.
Don't worry, there will be plenty more on Team Clinton yet to come out.
Against Obama?--the "Moslem connection" allegation is rather pathetic. And Obama really does represent a new approach--which may even possibly involve actually working with the people from the other party. Appealing on a non-partisan and non-racial basis.
No accident that Susan Eisenhower, some other Republicans--especially any anti-war people--and lots of independents--are in his corner.
