"Oh if Hillary wins fair and square so be it. Personally, I don't think she can get elected dog catcher in half this country (including Ohio and Florida) ..."
Actually, since McCain has NO economic plan other than making Bush's tax cuts permanent (FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP), and has no interest in rebuilding the manufacturing or anything else that might provide middle class wages for the middle class (and NO plan to do something about the foreclosure tsunami), I think she'd quite well in those states - providing there is no voter fraud.
"I think the issue with McCain will have exactly the opposite of Hillary's problem."
Please remember my points about red v blue. Except for OH and FL, I don't think McCain or Obama or Clinton will change the color of any big state.
As far as his issues, he has actually done a pretty good job of dealing with them but lets look:
1. Keating 5 - He fessed up and did his straight talk thing.
Oh, yes, his straight talk thing. Except for when it's not. Please do not buy into the MSM's fawning press on this bastard. I posted on HTWW a bit about his Keating past. It is much worse than you make it sound, and he NEVER came clean - and he is still dirty. He is corrupt to the core.
2. His wife - Personally, if she has a problem with addiction, I am not sure going after her would be the smart thing to do.
McCain is supposed to be the law and order type. She got no jail time. And please do a little research on the McCain Machine's effort to whitewash her crimes. McCain is big on locking up poor people for possession of grass and other drugs. And she was allowed to adopt a child when she was actively addicted. And McCain lied about her addictions. And he continues to lie about it. And her medical bills are covered by the taxpayers - millions of who do not have health care coverage. It is a big issue.
3. His adultery - If Hillary is the nominee, you'd best stay the hell away from this one for obvious reasons.
And what reasons would that be? Senator Clinton did not cheat. She stayed in her marriage - you know, till death do you part and all that stuff. McCain did cheat - repeatedly and with subordinates. He dumped his wife after she became a cripple. And he left her for a younger, prettier, richer woman who could bankroll his career. (By the way, his wife and his father-in-law were involved in some scuzzy Keating commercial land deals.) I think the issue should be front and center. Women despise men who dump their wives for a trophy wife.
Where you hit McCain is on his tax policies.
Yes - and on everything we have on him. Please make an effort to do your own original research on McCain. The MSM - nor Salon - will do it for you.
