1. Can McCain raise enough money to stay competitive with Obama on ad-spending this fall? Can he explain to voters that his age isn't an issue?

2. Will the GOP try to 'swift boat' Obama like they did to Kerry? Ayers and Wright seem to be tempting for them and I wouldn't be surprised if the race card is played (fair or not). The over-arching question, I think, is this: is America ready for a black president? Is America ready for a black president in his 30s, too?

3. Does Obama have any skeletons in his closet which can be used against him like Kerry and the Swift Boat Veterans for truth? Will any big-time GOP donors step up to the plate and fund this type of campaign?

4. Who will each candidate chose for VP? And what does that say about their strategy moving forward...

5. Is this the final, gasping breath of the Clinton dynasty, or will she be back for more?
