If only "honest" candidates were elected, we wouldn't have a government.

Bottom line is that the republicans will do everything in their power to demolish either candidate. So there are two points to consider:
1) Everything they can say about Hillary is old news, it's been said. Any rehashing is just plain boring. It won't even keep the publics attention. Can you even imagine republicans getting all worked up over Whitewater, travelgate, etc. The public likes fresh new dirt and the republicans can manufacture a lot of it regarding Obama.
2) How will the candidates handle the attacks. Well, Hillary has already proven that she can handle anything that comes her way. She's been through one of the worst humilations of anyone and came out on top. Obama can't even handle the marshmallow attacks he gets from Hillary, how the hell will he handle the arsenal that the republicans will throw at him. His supporters whine over every little subtle criticism he gets and read racism in everything. What are they going to do when he is called Osama Obama (which is already happening) and when the racism is real and blatant.
3) I know I said two points...but I thought of another one. Debates. He's not good at debates...simple fact. If he has trouble debating Hillary, who basically agrees with him on most points, then how is he going to handle McCain, who is a pro. Next to Hillary, Obama looks like an equal despite his youth and lack of experience, because he's a man, and men are perceived as smarter and more capable than woman. Next to a man he'll look very inexperienced, he'll look like a boy. Hillary is an expert debater, she is a mature, experienced woman. In both cases there are are sexists or racists, so that's a wash.
