As a Southern Conservative D, McCain is the R I fear most in a general. As retired military, it will be near impossible to vote against him, myself. I have always loved McCain. I have full-on hate of Bush, but he isn't running and McCain isn't at all Bush.

Teddy Kennedy just did for Hillary what he did to Carter, which is little suprise. The Move On wing doesn't understand that the Democratic party is not a European Green Party. Marginalize the Blue Dogs at your own expense. Throw the South under the bus and y'all will get hit by it in a General Election.

As a Southern-born moderate De,, I'm really not afraid of McCain at all in the general election. His ardent support for an unpopular war, statements about keeping troops in Iraq for "100 years" (I can see that video being played over and over all summer), and the looming Supreme Court nominations that no one wants an anti-Roe Republican appointing should sink him. McCain's strange obsession with war is truly frightening. He's just too scary to stand in the way of history. I give a month after the convention for Obama or Clinton to leave him in the dust.

Johm McCain will win both the Repub. nomination and the general election, I feel fairly easily. Both parties have been hijacked by the extremists of their respective party. The Dems. more vocally, however. McCain is a politician that is not afraid to stick to his guns. We want and need that type of courage in these uncertain times. He will garner the largest cross-over vote since Reagan.

I think Barack Obama will win both the Democratic nomination and the general election. While I think Republicans who are sick of what the Republican party has turned into will cross-over and vote for Obama and his message of hope and bi-partisan action to fix and re-build our country...I see very few Democrats crossing over and voting for McCain.

People are genuinely excited about Obama. People are only feigning excitement for McCain because he's the candidate who sucks the least. McCain is not someone who is going to draw a huge cross-over vote from any party.
