The latest heads up polls show Hillary would do better than Obama vs McCain by a couple points in a general election but that's just part of the story. Obama has lost all 3 critical swing states to Hillary. Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida to Hillary and all by considerable margins. And polls show he won't do any better against McCain in the general election. Current polls show that Obama would lose all 3 states to McCain whereas Hillary would win all 3 states. For Democrats to win the White House, winning 2 out of 3 of the above states is a must.
Does anybody here believe Obama has any chance at all especially in Florida? An elderly and hispanic state which is so far off from Obama's base? Rasmussen poll shows Obama trailing McCain by 15 points in Florida.
Florida: McCain vs. Obama. 53% McCain. 38% Obama McCain +15.0

Yes, and I also believe he has a better chance in the general election than does Hillary. Clinton supporters need to quit deluding themselves into thinking that stuff like Whitewater, Travelgate, Rose law firm, Bosnia snipers etc etc wont come up again in the general election. When your negatives are greater than your positives, you've got a real problem. When the majority of people don't think you are trustworthy, you've got a real problem. When some wingnut running to be president starts talking about obliterating other countries and nobody gives it much attention, WE'VE got a real problem. Maybe Hillary is running for president of the wrong country. I hear Iran is looking for a matching pair.
