The reasons Obama can win against McCain...
and Hillary can too:
1. McCain has tied himself to Bush era policies like a huge boulder around his neck. Even his pathetic attempts to distance himself have been proven to be disingenuous at best, and outright lies at worst (i.e. how he would have differed in responding to Katrina shot in the ass by him eating cake with bush while the levees broke)

2. While the democrats have been bloodying each other, "Teflon John" has been doddering away unscathed. This also means the democrats have had time to start recovering from the blows but McCain will be hit fresh after we have our nominee, leaving him less time to respond.

3. Temper, temper, temper! In a debate, McCain will show his true colors.

4. He supports the troops by not voting for the Webb's new GI Bill? Can you image the ads we can make out of that?

5. It's the economy stupid, replaying his "The issue of economics is something that I've really never understood as well as I should. I understand the basics, the fundamentals, the vision, all that kind of stuff,'' he said. "But I would like to have someone I'm close to that really is a good strong economist. As long as Alan Greenspan is around I would certainly use him for advice and counsel." quote. http://economistsview.typepad.com/economistsview/2007/12/mccain-economic.html

6. As evidenced by our constant bickering with each other, we are passionate and motivated, and I have to believe that we will eventually coalesce around OUR parties nominee.

We will win, we are better, stronger, faster...or is that from the 6 million dollar man...anyway, I digress...

1. The Republicans certainly have a weak candidate this time.
An older, uncharismatic version of Bush with no new ideas, tied to a man who almost singlehandedly destroyed the country. He doesn't have any coattails to run on. McCain is just a warm body.
