re: #234 Desert Dog
I think McCain would have beaten Hillary and perhaps for the reason you are suggesting. But, Hillary has high negatives…much higher than Obama’s. She was a known commodity and you either loved her or hated her. Obama rode in with the biggest push from the MSM ever, after 8 years of an unpopular President from the other party and with a large turn out of newly minted voters, yet he was barely able to beat John McCain, who in my estimation ran an extremely poor campaign.
The USA will elect a woman one day…the question is which one?
We missed out big time with the passing of Jean Kirkpatrick.
