Then you have a clash of strengths...
McCain's strength is that he's McCain...The Democrat's strentgth is there are more Democrats than Republicans and the political environment (issues) favor them...
I think if you look at political history the political environment has a greater impact on results than the candidate... A Republican was not going to win in 1932 and a Democrat was not going to win in 1980...

5. I think this means if McCrazy gets the nomination, we'll be glad we nominated Edwards. |
