McCain vs. Clinton

I am loath to give the GOP any advise - but if they had a half a brain (most of them do not) they would nominate John McCain.
The bile spewed by the Right against the very conservative McCain is idiotic in away that only conservatives can be idiotic (see Bill O'reilly) . However - if they want to beat Hillary in the fall McCain is the best choice.

Hillary will make short work of Romney. (She even wins Texas)

She will slowly roast Guliani, and dispatch Thompson and Huckabee. The former quickly, the latter slowly...

McCain, however, is trouble for Hillary. His strengths match her weaknesses. Unless, as it looks now, the economy sinks - in which case Hillary will win in a landslide. However, A Clinton/Webb ticket with a sour economy is pretty much unstoppable - and this is what I believe we will see in the fall of 08.
