The commercial was credited as one factor enabling Clinton to turn her campaign around in Texas last week. But, 42% of all voters said the person they’d most want to answer the phone was John McCain. Among all voters, 25% picked Clinton and another 25% named Obama as the person they’d want in the White House when a foreign policy crisis call arrived.
Among Democrats, 46% said they’d like Clinton to take that call while 36% named Obama.
Among Republicans, 79% named McCain while neither Democrat reached double digits.
Among unaffiliated voters, 39% said McCain would be their top choice to handle such a crisis. Twenty-seven percent (27%) of unaffiliateds said they thought Obama was the best to handle the call while 18% named Clinton.
Among men, 51% preferred McCain, 21% Obama, and 19% Clinton. Women were evenly divided—33% for McCain and 30% for each of the Democrats.

As for which of the three would be the worst to have in the White House when a foreign policy crisis broke out, 36% named Obama, 28% McCain, and 25% Clinton. Men were evenly divided as to whether Clinton or Obama would be the worst. Women were evenly divided as to whether Obama or McCain would be the worst.
An Obama foreign policy advisor said that neither Democrat was prepared to take that call (see video), a comment that John McCain was quite happy to endorse.
Unsurprising. McCains WoT stance will win him the election. Neither Hillary or Obama can reach to him.

Did anyone say who was calling at 3AM?
If it is the Clinton whitehouse it could be Monica calling at 3AM right? (No big deal)
If it is the Obama whitehouse it could be one of his Arab relatives from Africa calling. (No big deal)
The "men" who'd prefer Hillary or Obama aren't men... they are metrosexual surrender monkeys.

I’d rather talk to Cindy.
The only way I would want any one of these three answering the whitehouse telephone would be is if after answering the telephone they hand it away and say “Mr. president, its for you”
Saturday Night Live should do a skit showing the red phone ringing and a light coming on in a dark bedroom. We’d see Bill Clinton reaching to answer as Hillary still slept. The voice-over could be “Do you really know whom you are voting for”?
Umm, on second thought, that wouldn’t work. No one would ever believe they would be in the same bed.
It seems that most voters are selecting “none of the above” as their preference.
That does not bode well for any of the 3 current contenders, as none even gets close to 50% from ‘all’ voters.
Ballgame.
“Among all voters, 25% picked Clinton and another 25% named Obama”
Together they beat McCain
I have to agree with you. The terrorists will try to give W a sendoff message close to the end of his term. This will settle the election issue.
I’ll go with Gilligan over these three clowns.
| Republicans | M 79 | D 15? |
| Democrats | M 12? | D 82 |
| Independents | M 39 | D 45 |
Doesn't look all that encouraging to me.
THEY ARE NOT TOGETHER.
There are Hillary supporters who would rather go with McCain than Obama.
...and why 3am ? Is that when we were attacked on 911 ?
This numbers don't really change a great deal from one election to the next. That's why motivation and turnout are so important. If McCain doesn't energize Republicans, he loses.
Those numbers go out the window with a Clinton/Obama ticket.
