McCain has a punchers chance. Its way too early to rule him out but I would put him in mondales predicament in 84. You do the base, you lose the indys. You do the indys, your base gets upset. Very hard road for mccain. He has to delegit obama without doing the crap that some on this thread do. He also has to appear to be far more progressive than his base has allowed him to be.

The tough part of the problem, IMO, is getting the truth out about Obama, without (a) the help of the liberal media, who is DYING to put Obama in office, and (b) looking like a mean old bastard.

Obama is running away from any kind of matchup on the facts with McCain -- as one would expect, because McCain will clearly cream him in any environment not controlled by offstage speechwriters.

Obama followers are under the influence of a very strong charismatic, and those people are unwilling to see the facts. Obama's flip-flopping goes totally unnoticed amongst his supporters (although, he apparently is taking some heat for the flip flop on FISA, I get no sense he might actually lose any votes over it), and his glaring lack of experience is without consequence.
