I believe that Obama would beat John McCain. It’s why I’ve been cautioning people for months now that it’s in our best interest to hope Hillary gets the nomination. I’ve been questioned on this by those who can’t see that Obama is worse and far more likely to win the general, those who just want the Clintons gone no matter what the cost, and those who secretly support Obama.

The bottom line is this - Rock, paper, scissors. McCain beats Clinton. Obama beats McCain. Clinton beats nobody. Obama will sweep into power with him Democratic legislators down the ticket as his cultists show up en masse to vote dem.

“Conservatives” have enjoyed their little love affair with Obama at Hillary’s expense. I suppose they should be congratulated - they may have helped cost us the general.

I’ve been extremely lukewarm on the Republican party lately, but an Obama candidacy forces my hand. I have to vote for McCain. I don’t appreciate being put in the lesser of two evils scenario again, but against the devestation Obama would bring into power with him I will gladly pull that lever for McCain. If Hillary were the democrat nominee or Giuliani the Republican nominee I would just stay home. But the Cult of Obama will require each of us to do our utmost to stop him.

I dislike McCain intensly but Obama can’t beat anybody except Hillary.

Folks, it's a long way to November...But the point is, there is simply no evidence right now that Obama...has this race in the bag.

A looooong way. I believe it is McCain's race to lose, regardless of the Democrat that wins the nomination. What is not obvious is that this love fest is just a parade with a beginning and an end. The real race is around the corner. Whether one likes McCain or not, he can take a punch.

The nation is already aware of Hillary's baggage from Whitewater on, so it's largely been discounted.

So far, Obama has gotten a free ride, without much DEEP background vetting.

Some of this might really take the glow off of his halo.

FOR EXAMPLE: Barack's terrorist buddies.

In 52 seconds why Obama will not win a general election!

For McCain to win, he will have to fight, instead of offering to be Obama’s VP.
