"Hillary may win the nomination due to some chicanery with Michigan, Florida and the Super Delegates however this will only dampen those democratic voters who are already on the fence about her and completely reaffirm what the independents and moderate republicans think about her."
Wait just a minute. What happens if she wins without what you refer to as "chicanery?" And when push comes to shove, I don't think the DNC or the RNC will penalize Florida - not unless they want to lose. Remember, the popular vote gets you nothing. Most Democratic voters I know will vote for the nominee - even if they have to hold their noses. (I've done it my whole life.)
As for independents and moderate republicans - they don't count in red or blue states. And we don't know how they'll vote in a state such as OH and FL. And let's not forget, McCain has his own baggage. Keating Five. Drug embezzling wife. Adultery with female subordinates while on active duty. Ignorance on the economy. Mentally unstable. Volcanic temper. The list is long.
