McCain's Assets
There is so much back and forth about Obama and Clinton that I thought I would post something about what McCain has going for him....
Unpopular war? Check
Linked to least popular president ever? Check
Lobbyist scandal(s)? Check
Flip/Flop? Check
Biggest recession since the 70s (or possibly the 30s)? Check
Competitor from his own base? Check
Wow... he's got this thing sewed up. Maybe you can add more?

That's a fine list, especially that list thing. I'm expecting big things from Bob Barr this time around.
In the words of Hilzoy,
... will the last lobbyist to leave the McCain campaign please turn out the lights?

Unreliable temper.
Stiff oratory.
As preparation to run in a recession year, has confessed that he doesn't know much about economics.

For a moment I thought you were referring to Gerald Ford, who came within 23,000 votes of winning the 1976 election.
