Unelectable
McCain would mop the floor with Hillary. Her pandering Republican-lite act won't fool enough independents to carry the day. The right wing media has spent the past two decades painting her as a card-carrying Communist, leading Hillary to a series of increasingly bizarre political contortions, up to and including the co-opting of right wing hawkish talking points and truly asinine votes (the Iraq War being the most glaring example). She's a colossal phony, and lacking her husband's mesmeric charisma even casual observers can sense it.
Ironically, with the economy in the toilet thanks to Republican-lead deregulation and the Iraq War increasingly unpopular among independents, Hillary would have been better off remaining true to the "liberal" image the media had painted for her to begin with. The problem with the Clintons - now as in the '90s - is that there's virtually no limit to their willingness to pander and sellout their values (and the core supporters of the Democratic Party) in order to advance their short-term political ambitions.
