He’s the only Republican who can win and has an unmatched personal story. I do agree that the McCain of 2000 would be a stronger candidate this year.

Agreed. Obama can’t let up and needs to convince undecided GE voters why they should vote for him as well as reaching out to make sure Hillary supporters don’t stay home. That being said, I am not sure where the author gets the idea of McCain being this formidable juggernaut. He has serious credibility issues (for undecideds and even many republicans) especially with women and minorities. He is a supporter of an unpopular war, a Bush backer, clueless about economics and his age is a legitimate concern as well. I would go as far as saying that he is overall a weaker candidate in the GE than he would have been in 2000.
