Obama is seen as the most electable Democratic candidate. Eighty-seven percent (87%) believe he would be at least somewhat likely to win if nominated. Seventy-six percent (76%) say the same about Clinton and 75% think Edwards would have a chance. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the Likely Democratic Primary Voters believe Obama would be Very Likely to win. Just 38% have such confidence in Clinton.

I’m just hoping that the Wicked Witch of the Ozarks can manage to come in 3rd place in NH too.
Wow. Can you say “lead balloon”? I thought you could.
If that poll turns out to be true, Hilldew will be like the cockroach that kicks and squirms long after it is dead but is still essentially dead.
Ouch! She’d better put some ice on that, bake some cookies, stand by her man, put down the ash tray, make some eye contact, hang up o’l crusty, and settle for not being able to recall much of anything. With her standing at the moment, some prosecuters somewhere may begin to get some balls. Cutting your teeth on these two would be shootin fish once a weakness is exposed. Those FBI files are getting stale.
Wouldn’t it be great if the primaries eliminated the Clinton machine?
It's the "vision" of her telling us all what to do that is provocative.
Experience??? Where is it?? She sure hasn't done anything for Upstate New York except funnel money to the Dem "monopoly" in the disgusting City of Rochester.
I just hope the Obamma’s don’t have pets.
She's giving it the old Wellesley try.
Consider it done.
Great news on the RAT side. Hope the numbers hold.
Oh please. The MSM have to build this up. Dontcha know? Hillary is going to be the comeback kid with her courageous turnaround in winning Michigan.
There would be a certtain sense of self satisfaction to see Clinton’s campaign implode and to witness the one who is inevitable become just a footnote in history.
That said, we should be careful what we wish for. Obama
would be the more formidable candidate against the GOP in the general election. Despite any substance and experience,
his charisma and vauge message of hope and a better future
would resonate well with the sheeple.
Anybody seen Huma?
*sniffle*
I feel her pain.
LOL! You hit all the notes.
It’s almost becoming a question of what they’ll do after she’s defeated. They’ll play the loyal party game, endorsing Obama and trying to gin up as much celeb coverage as they can at the convention.
Then, with the election over, Bill will fake some kind of health crisis. She’ll resign her Senate seat saying she needs to be with him. (She could care less about staying in the senate...it was merely a springboard.)
Once she’s left the senate, they’ll wait a while. Then they’ll divorce. She’ll get both houses and he’ll rattle back and forth between the apartment at his library and a new penthouse in New York. He’ll be part of the NY celeb scene. She’ll take on some wonky high-paying non-profit role.
We’ll never be truly rid of them. But at least they’ll be shown for the losers they are.
We want Hitlary to win. She would be easier to defeat!
GOOOO OBAMA !!!
COME ON EDWARDS...
Pick up the pace Bill R...
Although unopposed in Michigan, with her ability to screw up a wet dream, she just might even lose there.
Right now the republican field is weak. A unified rat party with a Clinton on the ticket would crush any of the GOP candidates as it stands today. We need that rat soup to be boiling over all the way to the election.
