Sen. John McCain would easily defeat Sen. Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head race for the White House in 2008, a new poll reveals. In the Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg survey, half of those polled said they would vote for Arizona Republican McCain, while only 36 percent said they would choose New York Democrat Clinton. The rest said they weren’t sure, or would vote for someone else. The poll also found that Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney would give Clinton a tough fight – 42 percent of respondents picked Clinton over Romney and 36 percent picked the Republican. The poll results "lend credence to some Democrats’ fear that despite Mrs. Clinton’s clear strength within the party, she would prove too polarizing a figure to win the White House,” the Times reported. The poll also demonstrates that McCain "would be a strong general election candidate because of his appeal to independent voters,” the Times also noted. Half of the independents surveyed said they would vote for McCain, compared to 32 percent for Clinton. Also, 49 percent of respondents said they would prefer to see a Democrat win the White House in 2008, and 41 preferred a Republican. That means some respondents who prefer a Democrat said they would vote for McCain rather than Clinton in the general election.

This is the main reason why McCain must be our nominee in order win. If you do not win your principles will not prevail

McCain Beats Hillary 50-36

Great, we're screwed either way.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

My thought too. RHINO vs Socialist....great.

[Darksheare]

You've GOT to be joking.
McCain, Mr. "Hey, surrender is always a viable option even when winning".

[rodguy911]

I'd much rather have Rudy if those are the only choices.

[LdSentinal]

Early polls are like meaningless.

[BibChr]

Don't they have to be of different parties, to run against each other?

[Antoninus]

Yeah, now. Wait until 9 straight months of media saturation bombing. McCain will be lucky to get 40% of the vote. Anyone who reads FR regularly knows that McCain has feet, legs, and a torso of clay.

See tagline.

[Carl LaFong]

The fact that the slimey b***h even got 36% is frightening.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

I will never forgive him for the "gang of 14" and the so called Campaign Finance Reform legislation.

Dear Courdeleon02,

"If you do not win your principles will not prevail."

That's true.

This is also true:

If you win with someone who abjures your principles, your principles will not prevail.

That being said, I'd hold my nose and vote for Sen. McCain.

If you do not win your principles will not prevail.

Mr. "Keating Five" "Gang of Fourteen" "McCain/Feingold" does not share my principles.

[Soul Seeker]

McCain has no principles, except acquisition of power for himself unchallenged. If you share his principles, by all means vote for him.

[KC_Conspirator]

I am beginning to think that as well. Not too excited about McCain and I must prepare myself for the occasional stab in the back from him.

[Eva]

McCain can't be trusted, any more than Hillary. McCain does whatever is best for McCain. He thinks all politics are a popularity contest. He has no loyalty to anyone but himself.

[Darksheare]

I can't forgive him simply because he's a vacillating worthless piece of *CENSORED* *CENSORED* *CENSORED* that should have been crushed like a bug and flushed.

[rodguy911]

Exactly McCain will sell us out over anything.

[COBOL2Java]

John McCain, Richard Milhouse Nixon. Two "Republicans" cut from the same cloth.

[capt. norm]

I think the media has been building up because they have enough ammo to take him down easily.

The dreaded "Hillary FBI File Effect.

This is the main reason why McCain must be our nominee in order win.

You're a freakin' riot!!!
