You be the political analyst
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
While the political pundits are still predicting a fight to the finish over “super delegates” for the Democratic presidential nomination, John McCain seems fairly certain Barrack Obama’s got it.
McCain further cemented his claim on the GOP presidential nomination with a win in Wisconsin’s primary Tuesday, and immediately targeted the freshman Senator from Illinois who was projected to prevail in the state’s Democratic primary. Taking a page from Hillary Clinton’s critiques on Obama, McCain promised to deliver far more than just an “eloquent but empty call for change” and the “confused leadership of an inexperienced candidate.”
So, has McCain got it right, or is this a political ploy to make Democrats think again and tilt toward Clinton? Could it be McCain would rather face the New York senator?
