I checked Wikipedia's list of heights of U.S. presidents and discovered that a McCain/Clinton race would be the shortest race (by stature) of any Presidential race, at least in recent history.

Hillary is around 5'6.5- 5'7 whereas McCain is in a similar height range.
A race with 6'5" Barack Obama vs. McCain would clearly give Obama an advantage, as historically, the tallest candidate often wins.
