The most recent national polling (take it for what it's worth at this stage) says that ANY of the top FIVE GOP candidates would easily beat Hil in a general election. (But the same polls show that Obama, or Edwards, or even Richardson I believe, would easily beat any of the GOP top five....) Hil, (along with Newt), has long had among the highest negative numbers in American politics... practically no cross-over appeal among Independents (the LARGEST political grouping in America), or among Republicans. In fact, Hil seems to be the one thing that can best UNITE the fractured and dispirited GOP base.... Hard to win a general election (or produce any 'coat tail effects' that way... by only being possibly able to scrape out a narrow '51/49' type win at best....) Whereas Obama (and Edwards even) show broad support among Independents --- more perhaps even then among their Dem base. The recent polling even reported that up to 24% of GOP would consider a vote for Obama. (Apparently, an endless repeating cycle of Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton style partisanship and partisan divide is not perceived as all that enticing a prospective future by the American public.) If the Dem base imagines that Hil would make their 'strongest candidate' then they are badly deluding themselves....
