21. I don't see it, and I think McCain could say anything about Iraq, and people wouldn't
Edited on Sat Feb-02-08 09:31 AM by AP
hold it against him, or wouldn't perceive it as being misinformed, or motivated by profits, or class interest (even though it would be), whereas I think any position on Iraq by Romney would be greeted with suspicion.

However, more importantly, I don't think Iraq policy is going to motivate voters. It's not like Bush and Cheney are running for president.

Given the kind of campaign Clinton and Obama have been running, I really think it's not policy but personality that will motivate voters.

And McCain has a very well-formed, avuncular, (underseved) moderate persona that many conservative democrats and all republicans are going to embrace warmly and it's going to be harder for Democrats to beat him.
