    What an interesting website, looking at the maps- which match Obama against McBush and Clinton against McBush-it's obvious who we would want to nominate.

    On the Obama/McBush map a lot more states come into play here - Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and the upper Midwest states- than do in the Clinton/McBush map. The Clinton/McBush map looks like a re-tread of 2004.

    Regardless- don't we want a candidate who will make McBush have to work like hell during the campaign? I sure do. If we run Clinton, all McBush will have to do is point out that he's running against a Clinton, and the Repug base will turn out in droves.

    Also, on a side note, excellent post by BryanS.
