McCain cannot defeat Hillary Clinton.
McCain can defeat Obama.
and being stuck with Obama and his zero political history
is far less dangerous than being stuck with the very powerful clinton political machine which has decades of power building behind it.
Nobody in power owes him a damn thing and that is very likely exactly what he would get.
Of course, I share your revulsion regarding this guy being anywhere near the oval office, but if we cannot beat Obama, than it is time for the GOP to pack up and go home, because they couldn't beat Laurel and Hardy.
Let alone a Clinton ...
“McCain cannot defeat Hillary Clinton.
McCain can defeat Obama.”
I respectfully.......disagree. Hillary has way too much baggage that is just waiting in the wings for release. Right now we let them fight, then bring out the big guns.
I don’t agree.
Clinton needs the black vote to win.
She’s not going to get it if she wins the primary. In fact the far left of her party will be near riot mode if she wins the primary because “she stole the primary”.
Add to that she has huge negative ratings with nearly 50% that will not vote for her from the get go.
So the war between Obama and Clinton is doing real damage. Hillary taking the primary now would put the final seal on the dems fate this election year.
Oddly enough, after a mere nearly three decades of politics and political analysis, my take is exactly the opposite.
