Hillary Clinton Watch: Can She Pull It Off?

John McCain apparently thinks so.

Republican presidential hopeful John McCain has confided to his inner circle that Hillary Clinton may yet be the Democratic nominee, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, a development the senator from Arizona would personally welcome!

“Look, I know something about long odds, they had me written off last summer,” McCain explained over the weekend, according to a top source.

McCain would prefer to go up against Clinton in the general election, insiders reveal.

He has instructed his campaign staff to “chill out” on countering Hillary Clinton’s torrent of claims and promises as primary voting comes to end over the next 6 weeks.

McCain made the tactical decision to downplay Clinton’s tale of Bosnia sniper fire, leaving some McCain staffers frustrated and perplexed.

Instead, the critical focus has been on Barack Obama. McCain’s official website features 14 press releases taking on Obama since the first of the year, only 3 for the former first lady.

The Clinon Cabal is in full court press mode over the “BITTER FLAP” of Barack Obama. Yes, Hillary has a shot.

Watch the polls and see if she jumps to a substantial lead in Pennyslvania by mid-week. One such poll is already out, but wait until Thursday or Friday.

Indiana is another state to watch.

North Carolina will go to Obama no matter what because of its large African-American population who will vote overwhelmingly for him.

And, John McCain would rather face a divided Democrat Party whether it be Hillary or Obama. Flap thinks Obama is a weaker candidate at this point but either can be picked off with a fractured Democrat base.
