I thought McCain would probably win too, but now I'm not so sure. His republican base thinks he's too liberal, and his continuation of Bush's policies is going to alienate the average voter. I think once he has to open his mouth in debates, he'll be sunk. He's already made some gaffes that have been overlooked in the Dem primary furor, and I don't know that he's intelligent or level-headed enough to not open his mouth and stick his foot in.
I'd love to vote for a woman, but I'd really like a woman who makes it to the top on her own merits. You have to admit that if everyone didn't look fondly on Bill's presidency, she probably wouldn't have made it this far. I get the feeling that quite a few people think they're voting for Bill again. I was really blown away the other day when I was watching MSNBC and someone referred to an appointee (from Bill's term) as "theirs" as in "they" appointed the person (meaning Bill and Hillary). I didn't realize we had co-presidents! I'll go make a note in my history book.
Also, I think 30 years or so of the Bush-Clinton dynasties is enough.
