Hillary is just not electable to the general population of voters. Obama is the prime choice for the liberal forces in the Democratic Party. This will pose a major problem for them
as he will need a conservative (if one can be found), white democrat to balance the ticket.
Otherwise, the campaign will become too narrow in focus to appeal to the general electorate.

Just saw on World Net Daily that one of the campaign offices for him has a Che Guevada poster in the office, you know the chief executioner for Fidel Castro when he came to power. Brother we are in trouble!

Obama has a number of stands and points but, let us
talk realpolitic, the ding-a-ling Republican candidate has been
a big Bush supporter when it comes to the disaster in the
foreign sand even going so far as to say we should be there
100 years if necessary.

Millions of voters will remember that and nothing else when
it comes time to vote if Obama is the Democratic candidate.

The Republicans are giving Obama phenominal support just
by who they have as the presumptive fall candidate.
