Had me reading until that.
It is you who is not getting it.
Hillary can NOT be defeated by Juan McCain. - In fact they are pretty darn close on a whole host of issues.
A large chunk of the normal GOP electorate will not support him and a large chunk of whatever you see as that mythical beast the "independents" will not vote for McCain in a contest with hillary.
You, me, and 3 poodles have a good chance to beat Obama in November, but Obama can do the one thing that we - and certainly McCain - cannot. - Beat hillary Clinton!
