The ghost of elections future?
Obama's supporters do not address this when they cling to poll numbers showing Obama beating McCain in the general election, and that is the right wing slice and dice machine is just panting to get started in on
destroying Obama, as they have tried to do to the Clintons for 15 years or more.

There is nothing new to unearth about Hillary Clinton, but the right wingers have files full of stuff to bring out in the general election against Barack Obama -- some of it true and some of it (as was their effort against the Clintons) just lies fabricated by the Republicans.

Robert H. Bluey, a tried and true Republican, voted for Obama. Here's why.

"It's partly for this reason that I decided to cast my vote for Barack Obama today. Although national polls give Obama a small advantage over John McCain in the general election, I firmly believe that McCain would HANDILY DEFEAT the inexperienced Obama. Secondly, I fear what the Clinton attack machine would do to McCain. In the case of Obama, there are millions of Americans who know little about him or his far-left views. His lack of experience makes him even more VULNERABLE. It is for this reason that I would give McCain the edge in a head-to-head matchup with Obama. The right would have a field day with him."

1. They'll have a field day with either person
HRC may hold no new skeletons to uncover. But they will just love trotting out the old ones, shaking the bones and polorizing the the nation again.

A lot of people are bitter towards the Clintons and will vote against her in spite, plus I fully expect the GOP to play the sex card.

They will dig up or make stuff for Obama and it will be an issue of old versus new and fresh, plus I fully expect the GOP to play the race card.

Either way, its an up hill battle and the only advantage we will have is the ineptness of the GOP right now. Because its pretty evident the Democrats aren't very good standing up to a GOP minority and lame duck President how can we expect them to slog it out in a open contest?
