It sure looks like its going to be John McCain vs. H. in the forthcoming Presidential race. Hillary is still campaigning, but H. is readying himself for the general election, and many pundits think the primary race is over. Unfortunately for H., in the battle between him and John McCain, McCain is currently the one who is controlling the debate.

Over the last week or so, H. has continually had to react to comments by McCain or his supporters, and even change his behavior on foreign policy by responding to McCain's remarks about not being in Iraq since 2006 by planning a trip there. Whether the trip was already being planned isn't known, but H. sure is doing a lot of reacting. And, as they say, if you're reacting you're losing. The winner is the one who controls the debate, and currently that's John McCain.

And while he's got H. suckerpunched, the pastors that keep on giving are also taking some shots, and while they are not directed at H., H. is the one getting hit by them. Last Sunday's rant by Chicago's Father Pfleiger is just the latest in a long run of questionable religious associations for H. Michelle Malkin has a complete list of the dangerous religious mentors that H. has cited. We've already seen that H. has a bit of a glass jaw when it comes to reacting to these associations.

The race has barely begun, and H. is already on the ropes.
