a much better chance of defeating McCain in the GE than Obama would. Everyone thought she would handily walk away with the nomination only to see her forced to fight tooth and nail for it while support for her slowly erodes away.
Why do people think that she has a better chance against McCain than Obama would? McCain does not present much of a challenge to begin with. The man is old, does not have much support from his own party, and can be easily attacked on so many different levels (Rev. Hagey, Republican flip-flopper, won't vote for bills that he sponsored, etc.).
The only problem that I see Obama having in a run against McCain would be Obama's reluctance to use down and dirty campaign tactics against McCain. But with the campaign team Obama has assembled I can't imagine McCain being anything more than a bump in the road to the Presidency. HRC's campaign staff, on the other hand, I could see having a more difficult time if she were to run against McCain.
So ... what have I been missing???
