The McCain Mutiny

Matthew Dowd at ABCNews.com writes that Obama will win his party’s nomination. That’s what I’ve been saying for several days now. Its clearer and clearer each day. Hillary is fading, Barak is surging. Hillary looks old, tired, and wooden. Barak looks young, rested and dynamic. Its a really simple equation.

Toward the close of his article Dowd says:

Obama wins; then faces John McCain in the general election in an epic generational battle between two candidates who are calling the country to a sense of common interest and who are both about bringing the country together across party lines.

This is the part that just dead wrong. For the same reason that Hillary is dying a slow and painful political death - so will John McCain.

Obama is a young, tall, handsome, dynamic, eloquent, upbeat black guy.

McCain is an old, short, unattractive, boring, stammering, angry white guy.

Regardless of political ideology - McCain gets creamed.

Add to it the simple fact that McCain simply will not be supported by the conservatives - and this just adds to his trouble.

Now an Obama-Romney matchup would have been interesting.

Or, despite the long-shot odds, consider an Obama-Huckabee matchup.

Now that would be really interesting.
