If McCain were running in the Democrat primary -- vs Clinton, Obama and Edwards -- where do you suppose he would finish?

I think he would be a front-runner, grabbing all the more conservative Democrat votes while the liberal Democrat votes get split 3-ways.

You may be right. I got to thinking about it and concluded that McCain would definitely be competitive in a four-way race.

Consider, too, that in an open primary, he wouldn't attract all that many Republicans over the line to vote for him in a Democrat primary.

McCain would run extremely well as a Democrat.
