Good questions. I don't buy the Chris Matthews thing. If you switch the candidates, and Obama was slightly behind in delegates, close to a wash in national polls, and leading polls in three upcoming big states I don't think anyone on this thread would want him to throw in the towel. You are right that the general is a different animal. So much power and money at stake for so many powerful people. I think Obama can play the "culture of corruption" and removing power from special interests much better than Hill or McCain; and I think it resonates as well as almost any issue. He has a clear advantage as a fund raiser. A terrorist attack between now and the election day would probably result in a 20 point shift towards McCain against Obama; maybe half that against Hill. There are so many unknowns... we may not even be aware of the issue that will ultimately determine the outcome of the general in 9 months. I'm still worried about the Dems self-destructing. Which could happen with a brokered convention. Also expect the next couple of weeks and debates to get much more hostile between Hill and Obama. The most interesting primary season of my lifetime, that's for sure...
