i think that's up to how united the Dems are :)
Had Hillary made the nomination then i would have thought a Dem victory was feasible.
With Obama in the picture, where do Hillary's supporters go ?
Even with as united a stand as we saw in 2004, it was not possible.
McCain & Hillary are pretty similar, its a surprise McCain is actually a Republican, but i guess an armed forces background might explain it. Then again the hard core neocons don't care too much for him either, so how many will bother to vote.
Still i think the dem split is more than in the republican camp.

It's really too bad that you never felt the rush of voting for Mondale.

;D Or Perot.
Here's why I think Palin was at the top of McCain's list:
--- Quote ---"It's an absolutely brilliant choice," said Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University School of Law and founder of the legal group Liberty Counsel, who has sought to coalesce evangelicals around McCain. "This will absolutely energize McCain's campaign and energize conservatives."
Palin is "a woman of faith who has a strong position on life, a consistent opinion on judges," Staver said. "She's the complete package."

I don't think she'll attract many Clinton supporters.

obama - king of the teleprompter.
unfortunately, answering hard questions on the fly appears to be "above his paygrade"
his words, not mine.
his own vp's opinion:

ProblemChild:
Given that she strongly favors the teaching of 'creation science' (that makes me cringe just typing the word 'science'), has a history of using her public life to exert influence other people's private lives, is strongly against everything remoting liberal - I think there's little hope of her picking up too many Hillary supporters. And considering much of the GOP's strength in recent years has come from people who, by and large, believe a woman should be in the house popping out babies and having the house clean when her husband arrives, it's also possible she could bring trouble from the right as well. She's a very outspoken woman, in any case - I doubt there'll be much of question who she is for long. We'll see. Anyone know what the housing situation and job market are like in Amsterdam these days? ;D
