This argument is so lame (none / 0) (#186)

Barack can't win because he's bi-racial.  That's what it boils down to.  Despite the fact that polls this far out historically are insignificant and totally inadequate in predicting elections.

Furthermore, macro-trends tend to determine elections and regardless of the mud (which gets slung every year, mind you, and will be slung at Hillary as well), the Republicans have the worst set of circumstances possible from a historical perspective.

And if you think Barack's amazing victory in Wisconsin was the result of cross-over meddling, you're nuts.  That margin was too wide for any Republican mischief to have pulled off.

But Hillary doesn't do any better in head-to-heads at this point.  As  "electability" is the argument of the week from camp Hillary, I'm sure we'll hear plenty about it in the coming weeks.
