Who will win the election?

[they don't love you like i love you]

Look, putting your hands over your ears and screaming, "The race is over, the race is over" is a guaranteed way to lose the race.

Obama still has time to change his stripes and figure out how to take her out for good.  Even regardless of what I said before, I'm willing to give him a good chance (like the others) at winning the general if he figures this out.  We have plenty of time to find out.

Oh course it is, but it's the same strategy Clinton used when she was ahead. To say that only she can win because they both made the same mistake is extraordinarily and unexpectedly short-sighted.

Yes, thats the point.

Everyone talks about how Obama can't end the deal, but Hillary obviously can't either. I love the revisionist history about how last night was Obama's third chance to end it, assuming the second is Super Tuesday. At least Duke doesn't buy into that because before Super Tuesday the only talk was about how HILLARY could've ended it.

Really there's no way for either one to end it now (unless Hillary screws up Pennsylvania big time.) It's going until the last primary (note that I did not say the convention.)

Obama's still in the driver seat.  I think he stomps McCain in the debates.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I expect the Democrats, with Barack Obama as the nominee, to win back the White House in 2008.

I dunno...McCain is a strong candidate but I still think the overall poor opinion of the Current President and Party in Power is going to give a boost to the Democrats in November...whoever the candidate may be.

I think Obama will ultimately beat the Clinton McCain tag team.

[Torie]

The answer of course is that at present, it is a tossup.

Obama, or Clinton, will be the 44th president.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I think either Clinton or Obama can beat McCain, but the campaigns, and likely maps will be different.

[Beet]

Well right now McCain's chances are looking better and better.
Trust the Dems to f something up, huh?

Nobody knows how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory better.

Unfortunately, staid, old and tired 'more of the FAILED same' McCain. Failed given that he to has aided and abetted His Ineptness more these past eight years than either Clinton or Obama

Democrats had their chance on Tuesday March 4 to as good as select their nominee and they BLEW IT

And the more 'nasty' and protracted the race for the Democratic presidential nomination becomes, the worse it's going to be. The party will be perceived as being divided and voters don't have much faith once a House becomes Divided in Itself

Ironically, it won't be an ideological division like it was in 1972 or 1980 either. It's just that some Clinton and Obama supporters are sure to be so boneheaded that they'll either 1) vote against their own interests for McCain or 2) just not bother voting at all

Clinton and Obama are closer on the issues than either is to McCain, so voting for McCain makes no sense, IMO, whatsoever

I think there is way too much pessimism going on here.

We are a LONG way out from November, I believe the Democratic nomination will be settled by May (which in times past would be early) - and that leaves six months to go McCain.

McCain has now tied himself to the Bush mantle to get conservatives on side... only to risk alienating him from his moderate/indepedent base.

I know. And being pessimistic is, usually, just so not me

Well, you're right there, we are a long way out from November. It is early days but the sooner the party settles on a nominee, both fairly and amicably, the better

Writing for Sabato's Crystal Ball, yesterday, Alan Abramowitz argues that the real threat to McCain could come from moderate to liberal Republicans. He more or less says conservative Republicans will support McCain, despite many of them having reservations as to whether he is conservative enough, against the Democrat by default

After Obama chooses a horrendous running mate like Hillary Clinton or Russ Feingold, kiss the white male vote in Ohio, PA, Missouri, and Florida goodbye, and McCain easily wins.

Actually, the white male vote will go for McCain anyway no matter who Obama chooses for VP, so I say McCain.  By default.

I don't think any one really doubts that a majority of the white male vote; indeed, the white vote at large wouldn't go for McCain. Hell, when did the Democratic presidential candidate last win a majority of the white vote? 1964?

I wouldn't be so certain that Obama would pick an 'horrendous' running mate either

Who will win?  Depends.  Hillary would win, Obama would not.

Democrats are fixing to do the GOP a huge favor.  I can't believe the Dems have found a candidate to blow the general election in what should be a Democratic year.

Unbelievable.
