Not "who will be stronger." Either of our guys can wipe the floor with "4 more years" McCain. And if one more person cites a poll as "Proof" of anything, I'll scream. "Mild indication, with caveats" is the furthest you should go. Of course, in this cycle all the polls have been SO accurate, especially 6 months out. Six months ago, Hillary was up 30 points.
I do wonder how many of Obama's fair-weather friends will stay once Hillary is out of the picture, and they can hop back to the GOP and vote for McCain. Tell you what, the last thing that's keeping me, a lifelong Democrat, from jumping ship is Obama's cowardly approach to health care. Would saying to the young, yes, you'll have to pay something, even though you don't get sick that often mean that those fainting crowds fall silent?
Oh, and another way he won Wisconsin? He outspent Hillary 4 to 1. What political city does he come from? The city with the broad shoulders and the sharp elbows, that's where.
