a thought for Obama strength and his GE potential
Here is my concern about Obama.
He tends to win caucus in smaller states a lot.
In ge, there will be no caucus.
He may loose edge...

Well, I don't know. However, so is Hillary's 'weakness' in GE.
The point is nobody knows.
Both of them are not white male candidate!!
Peace

2. If he is the nom, he will have his anti war stance that will help him with the repubs
Look at the turnout Dem v. Pub in the election. Overwhelmingly higher turnout for dems.

65% of this country is against the war. McCain wants to stay in Iraq in perpetuam!

His number were pretty damn good in going up against clinton overall. Momentum is with him.
If early voting wasn't a factor, I think it would have been higher.

If clinton gets the nom, republicans will rally around whoever is their candidate, despite what some of there pundits are saying, to defeat her. If its McCain, he also garners some pretty significant support among hispanics. If Obama isn't on Hillary's ticket, the african american community will stay home in high numbers. This will hurt her. Obama clearly has crossed the line and gained the support of many white voters, so this isn't really an issue.

My prediction at this point, it will be McCain Huckabee...

I think that if Hillary is the nom, she has to try and convince Barack to be her vp if she wants to win in Novmember. IF she doesn't she will lose the african american and frankly, possibly the white male vote. If Barack should happen to win, he has the ability look at more vp candidates outside of clinton. Clinton will bring out a signficant number of repubs who will work hard to vote against her. Her divisiveness is still a factor.
