Ok here is why a Clinton nomination is good for McCain.

First, all those young optimistic people in the Democratic party who are loving Obama will be crushed and disillusioned if the old power brokers in the party give the nomination to Clinton. They will see it as business as usual and will likely not vote as much in the election. Second, a Clinton nomination will galvanize the fractured Republican base which likely would sit back and watch Obama breeze into office.
