John O'Sullivan suggests Obama-Webb versus
McCain-Romney. Obviously, I tend to find the first more plausible then the second though I
suppose you could argue that Webb's appeal to working-class whites
is more theoretical than Romney's appeal to anti-McCain
conservatives. At least some of them. But there is no way Mitt
Romney can put Massachusetts in play, especially not in light of
recent events.
For my money, the Onion has most accurately captured
the 2008 presidential race: a nightmare ticket of Obama, Clinton,
and McCain.
