Maybe someone’s commented on this, but I haven’t seen it. Everyone is assuming that conservatives will be so repelled by the prospect of Hillary in the White House that they’ll even vote for McCain. That’s no doubt true for some (though not for she-who-must-not-be-named!). But doesn’t generating turnout of that kind of voter require that the other candidate, i.e. McCain, goose the Hillary-haters with relentless red-meat attacks on her? And does anyone think that McCain is going to wage that kind of campaign against his “good friend” Hillary? Sure, he’ll disagree with her, but it’ll be the most collegial campaign ever, at least on McCain’s part. Moreover, the outside groups that might otherwise take the lead in attacking Hillary in independent ads are the very people McCain hates most passionately, and will not be too motivated to play their part.
