Although I opposed him in the primaries, I always thought he was the candidate with the highest possibility of success in November.

I think the Democrats would probably be unstoppable with someone like Richardson or Lieberman, but fortunately they seem to base their selection solely on who will disturb the Republicans the most. They disturb a whole lot of independents along the way too.

The Dem powers will look at the numbers and their decison will be based on the ‘unspeakable component’ in the vector

I think that will happen, the reasons will be specious, but Rev. Wrong is not helping.

Barack has such an amazingly calm, reasonable and resonant tone in his delivery. He has the persona of a new way of doing business, of hope.
As well, he lacks any substantive experience.

Hils has all the wrong experience, she is two steps backward for this Country.

John McCain will have one heck of a job against either candidate, but we have not seen what the GOP machine is going to churn out yet either. I think it will make Willie Horton and Swiftboat look like baby formula ads…

With WV, KY and PR on the horizon, and the likelyhood of the “I’m ahead in the pop vote with MI and FL” argument turning into a “I am ahead in the pop vote with just Florida”, don’t be surprised if the convention ends with a deadlock and perhaps a third candidate.

At that point the Dems might think “It would be a disaster to chose one over the other, so lets go a third way”.

Anyway, Republicans would be better served to focus on their own house and try to beat whomever the Democrats select instead of hoping for the supposed weaker candidate.
