What about wooing super delegates over to her side? McCain really shouldn't be elevating Hillary. Period.
Read the ad again. McCain is exposing the character of Obama. Everyone, even Repubs, knew Hillary was barely beaten, and should have been considered at least for VP. Because he didn't he showed clearly he is immature, angry and bears grudges. Then the 3am release of his text message was another slap of Hillary. Remember she ran the ad about the WH phone ringing at 3am.
The ad shows he is not presidential.
Thats *exactly* what they should be doing. Driving a wedge between Obama and Hillary partisans, and instigating them to start a circular firing squad with nuclear weapons.
If Hillary tries to steal the nomination at this point, the wheels would fall off the DNC and the American left. John McCain could take the next two months off and still win the election. Given the current mood of the average Democratic voter, the entire left half of this country would dissolve into a foaming-at-the-mouth political civil war.
All McCain would have to do at that point would be to look safe, bland and reasonable.
