3. Here in AZ we believe either Dem can beat McCain. |
|
He's not universally loved in his own state.

4. Hillary can't out "hawk" McCain |
|
No matter how much she tries. Obama is the only one who can make a clean break from the past and set the country on a totally new course in the world.

Hillary will be perceived as McCain in a designer dress, with less experience and street cred. If you run on "experience," you can't run against a guy who has a lot more "experience" than you.
If you run on change, you can beat that same guy.
No one wants to let grandpa drive after he's 70, muchless run the country, but grandma is not that great an alternative in the driver's seat, either.

7. you seem to forget Huckleberry |

DON'T do that! There are many evangelical dumbshits out there that could still upset the McCain applecart. Those folks are NOT to be underestimated.

9. Obama has great appeal to independents and moderate Republicans |
|
McCain has appeal to these groups too, but he's going to be doing a juggling act between trying to appeal to them and keep his base in line. Obama is not going to have a problem with the democratic base.
