The longer Obama and Hillary are attacking each other the better it is for the republicans...
What is the only problem? John McCain just does not appeal to the conservative base like Mitt Romney did. I am finding myself hard pressed to believe that the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, and Jay Severn will have an easy time throwing their support behind John McCain.
These people, along with most serious republicans, are not just going to support John McCain. John McCain is an independent and is very far from a conservative. Then again, are these not the folks that supported George W. Bush the second go around, and then regretted it?

The American people are faced with, perhaps an election for the "lesser of two evils". The question is, are the American people willing to go through another 2004? If they are not, which I don't assume they are, there will be many independents running for President this year.
These events could and just may, change the way we know politics. The American people's anger is at an all time high, and no longer will they just side with somebody just because they hate the other more. The republican's whole campaign has been run on two things... 9/11 and beating Hillary.
We all found out how good running on a 9/11 was, it just didn't site well with the American people. Eventually, John McCain will find himself at a loss if he continues to push the "safety" factor. Hillary Clinton could sure as hell beat him in that, thanks to her husband. Really, John McCain only has one card, and that is that America hates Hillary.
If Hillary wins the democratic nomination, I really feel going one on one with John McCain, she would win over Americas love.
John McCain better get geared up to get hurt... the Ron Paul revolution will attack! John McCain will be fighting a movement that few can explain, a movement that John McCain is against. I truly believe that Rudy Giuliani's campaign was crippled by Ron Paulites.
At this point, few can actually say that Ron Paul could beat John McCain for the republican nomination. This will truly anger the half of million plus, Americans that support Ron Paul's ideas. John McCain, even if Ron Paul doesn't run in a third party, will be fighting Ron Paul's movement all the way up until November.
John McCain can argue all he wants with the idea that he is better for America than Hillary Clinton; but he is going to have a difficult time if he is fighting for a conservative name, while still appealing to the masses. This election, mark my words, will be divided bitterly... The Libertarian party, and possibly the Constitution Party will rise out of the ashes and will be a huge spoiler. These two parties will cripple John McCain's only playing card.
Oh what a change a month can make in the world of politics. It seems like it was only few weeks ago that we were in the throes of a hotly contested general election contest where Sen. John McCain was the Republican presidential nominee and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was his choice of vice president and both were laying claim to the title of maverick in their attempt to retake 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the GOP. Now look what has changed? that was just last month. Silly me! I guess I got mixed up because just this past Sunday while on ABC’s This Week Senator John McCain seemed to be uncertain of his support for the future political ambitions of his former running mate Governor Sarah Palin. When asked by George Stephanopoulus if Governor Sarah Palin could count on his support if she were to opt to run for president in 2012, Senator McCain hedged, big time. "I can't say something like that," Senator McCain told Stephanopoulus in response to the question. “We've got some great other young governors. I think you're going to see the governors assume a greater leadership role in our Republican Party," he continued before going on to mention the names of other Republican governors like Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and Jon Huntsman of Utah. The thing that surprises me most in this strange scenario is that despite McCain’s insistence in this ABC interview that he has only "the greatest appreciation for Governor Palin and her family’ and his praise for the way Governor Palin “invigorated our campaign," he at the same time argues that because his ‘corpse is still warm’ after his defeat on the election trail it would be hard for him to endorse anyone. Well I would probably debate the converse. It is exactly because his corpse is warm that Sen. McCain should naturally be supportive of the person who just six weeks ago he asked the country to believe was ready to be his second in command and thereby a heartbeat away from the presidency as they say. I mean I get that we’re in a new election cycle and no astute politician wants to jump the gun on anything, but Sen. McCain could have given us a bit more than the old “Have no doubt of my admiration and respect for her and my view of her viability" line, don’t you think? I mean it seems he could have promoted that one better if he had really needed to. Especially since the way he launched the Alaska governor onto the national stage with such lavish aplomb back in September.
