A Romney nomination guarantees a Hillary victory.
If McCain wins the nomination and the general election, we only get Hillary light.

McCain looks as (ahem!) good as he does only because he is a media darling - as Republicans go. Put him up against an actual Democrat and the very first thing you can expect is an avalanche of stories emphasizing that McCain is in his mid - seventies, and looks older than Reagan did when he retired. And that those were hard miles, in the Hanoi Hilton. And stories about how long 'til he comes down with Alzheimers' Disease. Next to the images of him that you will be seeing, the images you see of Hillary will look younger than spring. And if it's Obamma . . .The second thing you will see is the big October "Surprise" - we already know what is coming - of wall-to-wall coverage of the Keating 5 scandal. Sure, McCain was the fifth-worst senator and the four worst ones were Democrats - but all that will matter is that McCain was on the list, and he's a Republican presidential nominee.
After that - which will all be perfectly true, with no "Killian Memos" needed - polls which today indicate that "if the election were today" McCain would edge out Hillary or Obamma will be ancient history.
And that is beside the point that there are Democrats in the senate who are more conservative than McCain - so even if he wins he will govern in a way which will tear the Republican Party apart. So McCain will not actually win the WH - and that's the best we can hope for if he wins the nomination.
It ain’t gonna be Hillary,its gonna be the Beautiful Obama VS.the Beautiful Romney.
Romney the Winner!
Let them have the congress.
