Obama is exactly what the dems want. The general will pit the GOP against a far-left candidate. There should be a lot of cross-over dems by then.
The general will pit a liberal dem running to the center and the repubs will run a moderate/liberal who ran for the nomination as a conservative running back to center. The problem is that they get to run to the right and the republican has to run left to get to the center. Clear as mud, huh? Add in a biased media and it won’t be an easy task to win.
Unless, of course, the Republicans had the smarts to nominate Duncan Hunter who is on the right, stays on the right and will continue in the general to run on the right.
