Personally I think McCain will stand a decent chance of hanging in there in the debates with Obama. Granted, he's no orator, but he's a smart man who's been around a long time. The main area where he'll have trouble is trying to defend his current positions on social issues like limitations on the rights of gay people, his anti-choice stance on abortion, and his opposition to medical research. It's pretty tough for anybody to come up with coherent arguments for imposing their moral judgments on others. Otherwise he should be all right.

The New York Times has a lot of new info on what to expect from Obama's general election campaign.
-- He could compete in up to 25 states including some very red areas like
Georgia, Alaska, and Montana. If Obama does run a 25 state campaign, it is going to present a huge financial problem to McCain who will either have to thin out his resources to compete or risk upsets in several states. It will also make him much weaker in Ohio since he will already be a huge financial underdog and every dollar he has to spend in, say, Georgia, is one less dollar he can spend in Ohio.
