I'm here in OH, and I actually think here Hillary is easier to beat. The state is trending Dem, but Hillary is HUGELY unpopular with a lot of people, where as with Obama, they'd "vote for change." Moreover, only Hillary will galvanize the GOP here, which is thoroughly demoralized.
I think folks learn over time what a radical black nationalist sort Obama is and he will have his hands full courting moderates who will flock to Mccain even from the Dems...especially older Dems who woulda voted Hillary.
and Obama has big strength in the black belt where whites will carry the day for the GOP killing that electorate that looked so good in the primary.
Mccain looks stronger than I woulda figured and should fare well against the two most left wing nutcases to ever run for POTUS and the Dem nominee.
My college age daughter says the same thing about Hillary.
She tells me that even the most die hard liberals she’s talked to claim they don’t like her and won’t vote for her.
There’s a lot of interest among that age group in Ron Paul, last I heard.
