McCain to Hillary: Please win Ohio!
Friday, February 29, 2008 at 08:01PM My law school friend and music mogul Randy brings up an interesting point: When was the last time a candidate was running a general election campaign while his opponents were still 
wrestling for their nomination. Of course, it happens virtually every time an incumbent seeks reelection, but much less frequently during an “open” year. You have to go back to 1968, when Nixon sowed up the nomination early while the Democrats suffered through a divisive convention before settling on Humphrey.
As it stands now, John McCain is running a general election campaign. He’s taking shots at both Democrats over NAFTA, taxes, and the surge, and has specifically gone after Obama on his lack of experience. McCain is leaving little guess work as to his fall strategy: the surge and the economy. On the Iraq surge, his case will be straightforward: do we cut and run and leave the country in ruins, or continue with a strategy that is yielding measurable success. On the economy, he will frame the issue around taxes: do we raise taxes while on the brink of (or in) recession, or continue with a pro-growth agenda.
One thing is for certain: John McCain will be pulling for Hillary Clinton to win either Ohio or Texas, and hopefully stay in the race. He’d love to see the Democrats battle it out past Pennsylvania on April 4, and possibly all the way to the convention. If Obama sweeps on Texas and Ohio, it’s over. If Hillary manages to win one state, she’ll probably soldier on -- with McCain cheering all the way.

Well said, but fix the "Randy" link so we can check out the music mogul
It’s really a nice and helpful piece of information.
