That means he could benefit from the vast majority who don't care much for either wing of the Democratic-Republicans. I do think a McCain-Obama (-Paul-McKinney-Bloomberg) race could be the most interesting we've had in years. Is it possible we could get a race of ideas, rather than "say anything" maneuvering?

We could yet end up with Obama. Ironically, Obama has a better chance of winning the general election. A Clinton nomination likely means a McCain presidency.
