Poll: Clinton leads McCain

By LIZ SIDOTI – 1 hour ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton has a better chance than Barack Obama of beating Republican John McCain, according to a new Associated Press-Ipsos poll that bolsters her argument that she is more electable in the fall than her rival for the Democratic nomination.

The survey released Monday gives Clinton a fresh talking point as she works to convince pivotal undecided superdelegates to side with her in the drawn-out Democratic primary fight.

Clinton, who won the Pennsylvania primary last week, has gained ground this month in a hypothetical head-to-head match up with the GOP nominee-in-waiting; she now leads McCain, 50 percent to 41 percent, while Obama remains virtually tied with McCain, 46 percent to 44 percent.

and yet she still can't win.

bk, you are clearly the sock puppet of mejust. How pathetic.

She can't win? Well, clearly, she is in the current polls. But, keep to your delusions.

---

So, you're expecting her to get almost 70% of the remaining uncomitted superdelegates, or are you thinking committed superdelegates will defect to her?

---

By my count there are between 714 and 749 unaligned delegates between the primaries and the uncommitted supers--enough to put either of them over, but most likely they will split so that neither has the requisite number.

But I never liked math much.

I leave "doing the math" (repulsive phrase!) to Karl Rove and Obama supporters.

Amen Auggie.

He's "demanding" that one candidate drops out in June.
Can the party really force one of them to drop out? Will the candidate care?

---

The "Dream Team" idea is dreamy!

I actually believe that Obama's AA and youth base will stay with him as Hillary's VP, understanding from his reassurances that the two of them can create a progressive coalition that could last beyond her two terms and his two terms.

The ones I'm more concerned about are the Obama supporters from the foul-mouthed Hillary-hating "educated white" demographic--the ones who have out-AnnCoultered Ann Coulter in their invective.

They're so invested in their conspiracy theories that I can only see them abandoning the Dream Team and voting for Nader.

there's no way bammy accepts the 2nd banana position. none. zilch. to do so would be to sell out to the white man, old-style politics, the right, fox news, iserael and maybe even the pope.

even if he did, he'd lose his base. he'd be seen as exactly what he has campaigned against: just another politician making a deal. part of the "old" washington.

he can't and he won't.

Eswards said he wouldn't accept the VP position.

What about Warner?

---

It WILL be Clinton/Obama '08 and '12.

---

He's decided that his "voice" is more important than action which might enoble and enable the first African American presidency (or vice-presidency, should that remote possibility happen). Narcissism is ugly in any arena. When mixed with the volatile elements -- religion and politicsw -- you end up with a ball and chain on Obama, the likes of which he's never seen. I see no happy end to this, other than a public denunciation. But it may be too late for that.

its sad that some of the same things that wright is saying that is going to hurt obama are actually legitimate discussions for this country.

Frankly, despite wanting Hillary to be the nominee, i don't like that this could be the main reason she gets it.

---

yeah, until the country has a dialogue on why whitey invented AIDS to kill minorities we're not much of a country. until the people of america can accept that whites were created by yakub 6,600 years ago on an island and that they are all - every single one of them - devils, we acan not move forward as a country. until this nation accepts that it deaerved 9/11 1,000 times over, we cannot move forward on race, in the racist states of america.
