I believe Obama can beat McCain -- I don't think Hillary can. I'm open to being convinced otherwise. [View All]

I feel strongly that McCain is going to ultimately be the Republican nominee. In a McCain v. Obama race, I think Obama wins. His vitality, energy, and unifying message asking us to turn the page of history make him more attractive to voters than a 71-year-old war veteran who wants to keep us in Iraq for the next "10,000 years".

I'm just not convinced that Hillary can capture that same sense of momentum. The dynamic changes if Hillary is the nominee. Hillary stokes the right wing base just by her presence, and I don't think she has enough in her favor to compensate for it. Don't get me wrong -- I think Hill could win against Huckabee, even against Rudy (if he were a factor), but I think a McCain candidacy is one that I just don't see Hillary defeating.

As I said, I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. I'd like to get a general sense from DUers who they think would be better against McCain, Hillary or Obama. (Sorry Edwards supporters!)
