There is no evidence at all that Hillary is less electable than Obama. She runs strong against everyone but McCain and McCain hasn't been hammered by Romney yet. realclearpolitics.com Edwards maybe is a full notch above Hillary but not Obama. As I told you from the beginning, Hillary and Obama are both risky and would make for close elections. Obama has not proven he can compete in any red state, maybe not even any purpose states. How many rural white are backing him? How many Hispanics are backing him? Almost none. If you want to kick the GOP's butt let's get behind Edwards. Otherwise it's a toss-up who is stronger, Hillary Or Obama. And one thing that Hillary says makes sensed. She has already been smeared for 15 years and any damage they can do to her has already been done. But Obama is a beginner on the national stage. You said he's much more untouchable than Harold Ford, but we don't know that. I think he could win, but I also think it would be close, and there's a possibility Obama could lose. That would be the greatest tragedy of all. Frankly, I think Obama's year is 2016. That sounds just about perfect. But he may prevail, we'll see. I just dread fighting off 12 months of racist smear campaigns from the far right.
