Chuck Todd has an interesting analysis of what a General election campaign could look like if its Obama vs McCain. He argues that McCain needs Hillary to win tomorrow to buy more time so that he can get his skeletal and bleak GE campaign in order. Heres some snips.
"The good news is that the conventions will provide an opportunity for McCain to re-set the campaign. But between now and the conventions, Obama could do some serious damage. He could erode some GOP advantages in red states, which the RNC had no thoughts of defending just a few short months ago.
And if a McCain vs. Obama race becomes semi-official on March 5, McCain could be facing a financial onslaught that will make Clinton vs. Dole in the summer of 1996 seem like a fair fight.
In Obama, McCain will be facing someone who has run fully staffed statewide organizations in nearly 40 states. More importantly, if Obama's raising some $50 million a month as a candidate for the Democratic nomination, imagine how much he might raise as the de facto nominee.
McCain desperately needs a Clinton resurgence because he needs more time. If Obama comes out of the March 4 contests as the presumptive Democratic nominee, McCain and the Republican Party have a very serious problem."
