Comments on: McCain’s 45% Ceiling http://commentsfromleftfield.com/2008/04/mccains-45-ceiling Thu, 18 Mar 2010 11:11:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Pug http://commentsfromleftfield.com/2008/04/mccains-45-ceiling/comment-page-1#comment-31829 Pug Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:58:20 +0000 http://commentsfromleftfield.com/?p=3950#comment-31829 <i>In any case, the attacks on McCain are for the most part light and infrequent, while Obama and Clinton both are under heavy fire from each other, the media, and McCain. </i> I'd have to disagree with this slightly. Obama and Clinton are not both under heavy fire from McCain. McCain has laid off Hillary Clinton, as you mentioned earlier. Right now Obama is the one struggling in a three-on-one fight. That would be Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and John McCain. The media hasn't exactly been treating him with kid gloves, either. In the end, I do think this will be a net plus for Obama. If he can hang in against this bunch, he's got to be a pretty tough customer. At the same time, he doesn't come off as a mud wrestler like the Clintons.
