An alternative for the prognosticators
The standard thread regarding a Clinton vs. McCain race goes something like: "Republicans will turn out in stubborn droves to vote against Hillary Clinton, who they regard to be the embodiment of evil. If it comes down to Clinton/McCain, Clinton will lose."
May I offer an alternative viewpoint? McCain is posturing himself to be the war candidate- Stay in Iraq as long as it takes (hey, 100 years isn't THAT long, right?) and "There will always be more wars".
If the polls are to believed, the vast majority of Americans are sick to death of the war in Iraq. They want it to end and they want our troops home - yesterday.
With McCain's positions and the majority of public opinion being what it is, McCain's victory against Clinton is hardly a gimmie.
