McCain used to be "the democrats republican" but that all changed when he got "swiftboated" by his own party and the dems lost all respect for him for not standing up to it. His strong point was always crossover support, and he no longer has it. He will lose a general election.
Hes the only Republican that edges out Hillary in national polls. Up until last week McCain also edged out Obama head to head.
Just based on turn out in Iowa and NH, two maginally blue states that had HUGE, doubling of their dem turnout in '04.
The Republicans are SCREWED one way or another because of turnout. The GOPs only chance is a massive turnout of the Religious Right, and thats only going to happen if Huckabee wins the nomination. Even then it wont be enough for him to win, but it would be enough to minimize Congressional losses.
Its IMHO very scary to think the Dems could have 60 in the Senate, 260 in the House, and the Presidency...
