Second, while Ms. Clinton does support stricter gun control (IMO not as strict as I would like), I cannot find any instance where she has declared her plans to completely end private gun ownership in the United States. In short these outburst of emotion directed towards Ms. Clinton seem premature, no doubt if she is nominated (which I don't think will happen, nor do I want to happen because I believe there are better candidates) the RNC and whoever opposes her will do their very best to try to paint Clinton in such a light and may well succeed, but likely at the cost of the fact that Hillary is not a Communist or a Socialist or a Fascist or any other sort of extremist.

There are plenty of Republicans that cannot stand McCain or at very least dislike him for refusing to toe the party line. He failed in his last run for president against Bush for that and many other largely illegitimate reasons. I also think that even if McCain can make it trough the primaries, his base, the center of the American political spectrum may well abandon him for failing to stand up to the administration on several instances relating to the war. In short he may be seen as too independent by Republicans and not independent enough by non party members and Democrats that have supported him in the past (like me, for instance).

Yeah, your right, she should be in a right wing party here in europe.
