BUT....McCain certainly gives them the best chance, because he's the Republican that is LEAST like GW Bush (in fact, they really don't like each other...which is a GOOD thing for McCain).
It's a fight for the independent vote, in my opinion. Obama supporters will vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination, and Hillary supporters will do the same for Obama. So I'm not really sure if that pairing garners either of them votes that they wouldn't otherwise get. I think they need to court the independent vote at that point...the swing voters who might otherwise be attracted to McCain's relative moderate stance. -- It was dark all around There was frost on the ground When the Tigers broke free ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:253615 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
