Another thing about McCain: If he somehow turns out to be the Republicans' nominee, the Democrats have a lot of ammo at their disposal:
A) Photos/videos from last year of Bush and McCain embracing one another (I can see the ads already)
B) The fact that he's over 70 years old
C) His ugly image (The man's age is showing)
D) The torture stories/Vietnam rumors that spread during the 2000 primaries
A. That could help him grab some conservative support
B. Reagan did it, so could McCain
C. Like Clinton didn't look inbred, and Kerry wasn't fugly
D. He won't make Kerry's mistake
