I don't think Obama could beat McCain, I could be wrong, but I don't think he can win. The reason is the democrats made the same mistake they made in the last election - they will nominate a candidate that is too far to the left. That, and, Obama may have a few more skeletons in the closet that have not yet been disclosed or he will pull a Howard Dean and self destruct. The press have given him a free pass so far, but wait till he is nominated.
McCain, not the best electable candidate, certainly not the best from a conservative point of view, but republicans know how to win an election. Simply, nominate a middle of the road/almost liberal, candidate. They did it with Bush, they will do it with McCain.
Hillary? She has allot of distractors, but I do believe she could have won against McCain. The reason is because she, again, is a middle of the road candidate. Sure the Clinton's are slime balls, people knew that about Bill, they know that about Hillary, but most people won't mind. Unfortunetly for her, the "slimeball" factor lost her enough delegates in the democratic fight so that she will loose the nomination. Not that she won't go down without a fight. The Clinton's have a well-skilled political machine that knows every dirty trick in the book. But she won't be nominated.
We keep lowering the bar and expectations and this is the kind of candidates we will get! We should be raising the bar and demanding more of our candidates because they are suppose to be speaking for us.
