Clinton and McCain team up?
The Republican presidential race may look like a cluttered and chaotic mess, but it’s actually become can get worse.
Mrs. Clinton, unlike from every other G.O.P. candidate, is positioned to contest every state on the primary calendar. He has unlimited money, an enviable campaign organization and a message and style tailored to draw in Republicans of varying ideological stripes—or at least to get them to throw up their hands and say “good enough." And that’s where Mr. McCain, the only candidate who can possibly team up with Clinton, come in.
Both canadates, severely underfunded and viewed with something between suspicion and scorn by influential components of the G.O.P. interest group establishment, plainly recognize their status as brothers in arms. Their strategy: Team up to make Mr. Obama himself an issue in the closing days of the campaign.
