I don't think Obama will beat her. I think Obama will win SC with a large

The real problem with a Hillary vs McCain race is the anti-war wild
card. They may sink her with a 3d party "Gene McCarthy" sort of
candidate.

While McCain is the only Republican suitable for and qualified for the
White House, I just don't think he is palatable to the GOP base. More
and more, I think the GOP nominee will be the expensive empty suit and
haircut, Mitt Romney.

No one will be easier to beat nationally than Romney, unless it is the
candidate from Jesusville, Huckabee.

The hard-core hardcore Repubs, now that all the SUPERcons have fallen by
the wayside have a masturbatory fantasy of a McCain/Thompson ticket.
Great...a really old guy in the White House, backed up by a veep who is
actually already dead.
