While it's true that Obama's inexperience and perceived Muslim ties may eventually catch up to him, that's all speculation at this point. I'm basing my opinions on the currently available data.
Put McCain on a stage against Obama, and it will make McCain appear even older than he really is.

These are polls taken before the general election, meaning they are worthless when comparing two members of different parties.
McCain will go after Obama is ways that Hillary can't out of fear of alienating her base. McCain will have no such concerns and it will be ugly. America is not a liberal nation, and Obama is the most liberal senator there is and his state and national record reflect that. The National Journal even wrote a study on it. McCain will have no problem going after Obamas record on taxes, social issues, etc.
He's already shown to be vulnerable to national security issues with Hillary's red phone commercial. Imagine what McCain can do when he's even more hawkish than Clinton?
In the genral election, its going to be a very different story if Obama wins.

If attacks by Clinton work, how more will they work coming from someone who actually disagrees with him?
