Answer 4

The national polls on potential matchups mean nothing right now, they're just name-recognition, so forget about them. Look at the polls on the issues: where Americans stand on them and which they think are most important. The Dems win on the Economy, Iraq, and Health Care (the top three issues) while the Republicans only win on Immigration (the 4th most important issue according to polls). Anyone can theoretically win this race, but in reality, considering the fact that this election, as we get closer and closer to November is going to be about the Bush administration, an incredibly unpopular administration with historically low approval ratings, it's the Democrats election to lose and if they lose it, it's only because they blew it, nominating Hillary won't be blowing it, although I think Obama is a stronger candidate.

6. Ohio = Republician Florida = Democrat
