I am not getting cocky, but I think he would be the easier candidate to beat.
That number on the $200 donations parallels the national average as I pointed out on a previous post. It is one indicator that the Democrat Party is truly the party of the elitists and the Republican party, contrary to what Democrats would have you think, is truly the party of the regular working guy.
My read on this is that McCain hasn't exactly endeared himself to the people most passionate about politics namely right wing conservatives.
These guys were central to Bush getting out the vote in the form of volunteers and money; something McCain can surely use against either of these people.
Ultimately, this race is going to be a shift to the left. Obama will get 100% of the libs and McCain will lose conservatives but pick up moderates that might go to Obama.
The question will be can he steal enough moderate votes to make up for the loss of conservatives' time, money and votes.
