If the California primaries were held today, Hillary would lose to Obama by 5-10 points. The same would be true for most states she won on Super Tuesday. She would even struggle to win her present home state of NY. Obama may very well lose to McCain, although I doubt that very much, but Hillary woule get trounced by him. She's doing terribly among independents and young voters, and not that well among many other groups . To make matters worse, many Democrats are so mad at her Iraq war vote, they consider her as bad as McCain and wouldn't bother to vote in November. It's simple, with Obama we have a fair chance to win, with Hillary no chance whatsoever. Another point her supporters should consider very seriously-if she is being trounced among Democrats by a young and inexperienced candidate to whom she managed to squander a huge lead she held in every public opinion poll only a couple momths ago, if she's being booed by Democrats during debates because of her anger and self-pity while Obama drwas massive crowds an immense enthusaism among diverse voting groups, how in the world can she be a viable candidate in the general elections?
