The less impressive daily Politico has a piece detailing the drawbacks of a number of 2008 candidates and how they'll deal with said. Author Mike Allen talks about McCain's age, Romney's creepy Mormonism and GOP verboten lack of enmity for gays, Giuliani's mainstream views on abortion and gay rights, Clinton's husband, Obama's... no surprise here... experience, and Edwards... recent blogger thing? And that he didn't help Kerry carry his home state (whoops.)

To be honest, I'm not really sure why I'm linking to it, except that I thought there were some really glaring omissions, like Giuliani's marriholism. And of course it was really bizarre that any conversation about candidates' weaknesses didn't even mention Iraq. Do any of us really think McCain's age is going to be a consideration if he runs against an anti-war candidate?
