I would agree with you if it were anyone but John McCain. McCain does not have a heavy association with dyed in the wool republicanism/conservatism. Polls show the populace views him more of a rugged individualist, type. Because of this Dems will have a harder time labeling him with the past 8 years that is perceived as being so horrible to a large section of voters. Thats not to say that they can't hang George Bush around his neck, but it will be VERY hard for them to do so, especially with the well knwon dislike the two have for each other regardless of public pleasantries.

In the end, if the dialogue in the general election centers on whether or not we should have been in Iraq, the Dems will have the advantage. If it centers on current successes in teh region and dealing with it the ay it currently is, I think McCain will have a distinct advantage.

But with Clinton having a more nuanced opinion of the current war than Obama, and the fact that she was there when everything threw down, I think she has more credibility to offer in the dialogue.

It amazes me that no one has called Obama on his constant claims of "I was against the war from the beginning" by simply saying:

"You don't know what you would have been for or against. You weren't there. You saw none of the reports that I did, none of the evidence from foreign countries or intelligence agencies. You're just pandering based on your ignorance. Things aren't quite so black and white when your there, in the arena of consequence, swimming through miles of data that you never had the burden of dealing with or worrying about while commenting from the outside in. Now go play while the adults talk."

Its not enough to mention that Obama is inexperienced, you need to smear his face with it.
