by user Tylersalt Image:Republican logo.png The sequel to my previous post, Handicapping the Major Democratic Presidential Players for 2008, coming to you due to popular demand and the fact that, well, I'm bored. 3:2 -- Senator John McCain (R-AZ): Several big things are playing strongly into McCain's hands this time around. First, he's widely liked by moderates, independents, and even a fair number of Democrats. Second, he has a wealth of experience in the Senate, sponsoring any number of big-ticket pieces of legislation. Being a war hero can't hurt either, especially in times like these.
