Clinton Says Only She Can Beat Off McCain


ORONO, Maine (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton warned Saturday that Democrats will have a hard time running against the "legendary record" of Republican John McCain, and that she, not Barack Obama, is best positioned to beat the likely GOP nominee.

Addressing a crowd at the University of Maine, Clinton called the Arizona senator a friend, but said a McCain presidency would be tantamount to a third Bush administration. He'd also be a formidable political adversary, she said. "If our nominee is running against someone with the legendary background of John McCain - Democrats need to think about this," Clinton said. "Because we're picking a nominee we expect to win. We cannot take four more years of more of the same."

Mrs. Clintons speech was briefly halted when (as pictured) a cameraman's work belt apparently snapped, dropping his trousers to the floor and exposing the fact that he was without underwear of any kind. For one brief moment Mrs, Clinton appeared to be paralyzed with shock as she gazed upon a man naked from the waist down, but aides quickly rushed to her side and administered what they claimed was an injection of insulin, but has often been referred to as the "anti-manhood shot" that Mrs. Clinton must receive after looking upon the male genitalia.

"When I think about running against Senator McCain," Mrs. Clinton said after being revived, "if I'm so fortunate to be the Democratic nominee - you'll never have to worry about being knocked out of the ring. I think that as long as he keeps his pants on I can go toe to toe with John McCain every single day."
