A McCain-Obama Race in '08?

By The Daily Dish

Hewitt is appalled at the prospect:

The fall debates will see a respectful Obama listen intently to the elder statesman and promise to consult closely with him, and then he'll turn to the audience and talk about a new era of change that will include the best of the generation that has served us so well and so bravely.  If McCain tries to get tough with Obama, the Saturday night McCain emerges, and the GOP is toast.  If he smiles at Obama and comments on his youth and inexperience, everyone will hear their grandpa saying "When I was a kid...." and tune out.  Turn out the lights on the GOP at that moment.
