I'm thinking more like Kennedy vs. Nixon. The new young Turk challenging the "old guard" old fashioned way of looking at things. Mitt might have a chance against Obama, but any Republican would have a chance against Hillary. Still, we must ask ourselves if mere victory of a lesser evil over a greater evil is worth the cost of our Party's 'soul' in the process.
You know i think i hate McCain more than Hillary because he calls himself an Republican and sells his party and his President out at every turn. At least with hilary i know my enemy and know what i get. That’s much better place to be.
Obama is like Clinton, young, brash, and no military service. McCain is the old curmudgeon and war hero going against the young gun. The contrast will be striking. Nixon and Kennedy were roughly the same age. Both had served in WWII.
