The Obama/Hilary Spectacle – Good or Bad for McCain?

Now that Mike Huckabee is out of the race John McCain seems to be loosing his media attention. Many gave Mike Huckabee a hard time for staying in the race so long, but I think now it is clear that John McCain is going to have a difficult time in the next eight months.

It looks as if the Obama Hilary contest will either go to convention or will be decided in the later months of the election. The question is is this good or bad for Republicans. Obama and Hilary being at each others throats make both of them, especially Obama, more seasoned politicians. In my opinion Obama will be the Democratic nominee, and when that happens Hilary will have already gone at him with everything she’s got. This is a bad scenario for John McCain.

Republicans only chance is if the majority of Americans are for Lower taxes and a stable presence in Iraq, and that they know that this is where McCain and Obama differ. Republicans are going to have to make this an issues election and hope for the best. McCain does not have the core support that Obama has, so he will have to rely heavily on independents.

McCain can win, but only if we talk about issues and not about the ability to lead.
