User:United Republic/McCain 2008 Ideas


 * 1) Prevent Obama, lets give him the Congressional seat he sought in 2002.
 * 2) John Edwards vs. Hillary Clinton in the primaries. Edwards' charisma, combined with Hillary's dislikability, helps him in the primaries and he narrowly defeats Senator Clinton.
 * 3) OCTOBER SURPRISE, Edwards' affair comes out in early October. McCain leaps ahead in polls, occasionally leading Edwards.
 * 4) After the 2nd and 3rd debates, combined with a change in campaign strategy, McCain polls 5-6% ahead of John Edwards.
 * 5) McCain defeats Edwards, 291 to 247 electoral votes. 50.4% to 47.3% in the popular vote.
