Clinton polls against McCain McCain wins

dunno what Obama does against him but

I'm really depressed about this.

John needs to be with his wife though

and can't sustain a campaign coming in third

sorry for the political thread in the lounge

I am just very depressed about all of this right now.

2. It's gonna be close, but either of our candidates can beat McCain.
The average of the recent polls of Clinton v. McCain has McCain winning by 1.8 percent:

While the average of the recent Obama v. McCain polls has Obama by 0.3 percent:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html


So, it's gonna be close either way. Incidentally, the most recent results for Edwards v. McCain also had McCain winning:

So, if you're only looking at electability vs. McCain, then Obama is your man. However, to be fair, the percentage difference is very small.

3. Both candidates essentially tie McCain (Diebold will take care of that)
But, both candidates beat Romney by double digits.

10. Sadly, no.
You can't have a brokered convention when there's only two possible candidates. By definition, one of them is going to get at least half the votes.

13. Polls here

I share your concern. Neither Obama or Hillary poll well against McCain.
