NO, he CANNOT beat Clinton. By the time the campaign is over, every aspect of McCain being lockstep with Bush on many, many issues wil be driven home. In 2006, Democrat governer Jennifer Granholm ran an ad that showed a picture challenger Dick DeVos morph into a picture of George Bush. Long about next October expect to see John McCain (assuming that he is to be the nominee) attached to everything Bush, and everything republican.
He is also the enemy of the republican estblishment, support from traditional bases will be limited
He is a terrible speaker who looks old and depressing. Actually, I don't think so, but face it, he is not very exciting for the average American who would rather vote for American Idol than vote for president.
Women and minorities will vote for Clinton in droves. Most people have no idea what any policy of any kind is, but women will vote for the first women president by wide margins simply because of gender.
He will not lose in a landslide, but she will win by a decent margin, maybe adding at least FL, AR, MO, WV, OH, and NV if comparing a 2004 map.
I think we all underestimate how bad Hillary wants to be president and how tough she will get in order to do so. By the time the election is over, John McCains backside will be bright red from several months of whoopins.
