#1 IMO, unless McCain wins: which seems unlikely---the man can't lie or pretend even a little bit, we all will be weeping better tears for Hillary.

#2 McCain's victory is not unlikely. They're pretty even at the moment if you make a rational assessment of the electoral college, which still selects the president. What you read in the press reflects what is happening on the coasts, not what is happening in America. The election will be decided, imho, by who makes the last gaffe.

#3 The main election is still a long, long way off. McCain has a good shot of winning the election if he keeps his mouth shut and doesn't piss off conservatives. Obama will make more than enough gaffs to sink his chances if McCain lets him.

#4 Obama and Hillary have been the only candidates in the spotlight. McCain have been nearly invisible so he won't register as well in the poll. So it's surprising and gratifying that he already polls ahead of Obama. When the general election campaign is in full swing and voters compare both candidates' messages (even with the media's bias), McCain will run away with it. I expect a blowout.
