I can't wait
I can't wait for a McCain - Obama debate. Or even a McCain - Clinton debate. Imagine: a solid, well-informed, well-spoken politician against a doddering old fool. Oh man! Of course, you (plural) would likely refer me to Bush, George W. vs. Kerry / Gore, but I'd be willing to wager that even Clinton on a bad day is better than Kerry at this debating thing. As for Obama, I think he's going to wipe the floor with St. John the Senile.
Of course, this will have to be supplemented with a lot of ads about how incompetent McCain could be as a President, and you know, Obama here would win hands down if only because he's going to have mountains of cash to spend on such ads. Not only that, Obama can radiate that Kennedy-esque disdain for an awkward opponent, which (like it or not) we, the people, can appreciate in a candidate.
Call me naive, but I'm cautiously optimistic about this, no matter who gets nominated on the Democratic side.
