I'm surprised no one has mentioned this.
A huge part of her campaign has been her saying over and over again "I have 35 years of experience." This will mean nothing against someone who's actually been a senator for over 20 years. Add in McCain being senator of a border state, his POW backstory, and the fact that even HRC herself can't bring herself to say anything bad about the man (hell, I haven't heard a single Dem say a single negative thing about him), and you've got some serious problems shaping up for HRC should she secure the nomination. It'll take more than winning over traditionally Democratic populations (working-class, Latinos) to beat McCain this fall and anyone who ignores this has got to be kidding themselves.
