The Rest of the GOP Race

Text of a letter I sent to TNR:

Good point that if McCain and Huckabee have more debates (without R. Paul) then it's basically free advertising.

Now that the GOP field has settled, it'll make it easier for Clinton/Obama to attack a specific enemy instead of each other. However, is there any way that McCain's candidacy helps Hillary? McCain has oodles more "experience," has better Commander in Chief cred, and will actively enjoy making her cry.

Considering she voted for the war (and hasn't recanted), McCain can take credit for the war's phantom successes and she can't attack him about the failures.
