Absolutely . Neither are electable . Hillary has the highest non-approval rating in history and Obama is just too inexperienced . People may like him now , but when it comes time to cast a vote , it's National Security that the voters care most about and Obama has a grand total of ZERO experience in those matters .

I think the Republicans are going to have a very hard time winning no matter who the Democrats nominate. If nothing changes in Iraq, and we can just about bet it won't, or if it gets worse in the Middle East in general, and if the Republican Party can't shake the common perception of corruption coming out of the White House, they'll be on the losing end of it in '08. I'm an Independent as well, but I'm already supporting Hillary Clinton and I hope to see a Clinton/Obama ticket. I think the powers that be on the Democratic side want to see that ticket too in the end. It's got "unbeatable" written all over it.

No, I think that American citizens are looking for change. The republican party has become associated with war, lies, and a president who cannot tie his shoes. Not only have they recieved negative attention, but America is beginning to think green. Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama are all lead active roles in making america enviornmentally friendly. Also, Obama has the ability to "wow" audiances with his intelligence and wit on stage, while McCain talks as if hes allready lost an argument.
If for no other reason, think about McCain and Guliani... McCain supports the war, so half of the country will not vote for him... he also supports creationism in public schools. Guliani, former democrat and independant, cannot keep his mind focused on one particular issue, and republicans know that. Alot of republicans may see no good canidate to vote for, and hold of all together.
Overall, the Republicans will not automatically win, because the republican party is throwing out canidates who will not get votes. Though the democrats seem to have two canidates with a lack of experience, the experience of McCain and Guliani may be just as big of a turn-off to voters.

No. maximum conservatives sense that they've a greater suitable probability with Obama. They sense he won't be able to be elected nationally and subsequently may well be greater easy to overcome. Hillary on the otherhand may well be plenty greater durable if not impossible to overcome till that they had photos of the monster interior (Plus many bipartisan witnesses!)....

Nope because the republican candidates are no great shakes.
John McCain-delusional. I hate to say it because I used to admire the man. he used to stand up for the country and not the party but he has chosen to fall lock step with the party.
Mitt Romney- flip flopper extraordinaire. He supported a woman's right to choose and gun control. As soon as there were whispers of his running for president, whoosh, race to the other side, against a woman's right to choose, now a life long hunter.
Rudy Giuliani-riding on his "america's mayor fame". Upon dissection, if people really paid attention, they will realize he was no great hero. He located the command center in the WTC towers against the advice of the people who know, even had a fuel truck located there, cut funding to first responders, refused to let the firefighters continue to look for their fallen brothers ( their body parts are in some potholes around the city). the list goes on.
Tom Tancredo- Might appeal to the anti immigration bunch but they do not make up the majority of the voters. He is a one subject candidate
As it stood in a recent nationwide poll, IF Hillary won the nomination- She lost to both Giuliani and McCain
IF Obama won the nomination, he was in a virtual tie with Giuliani and beat McCain.
But let's not forget about John Edwards. In a recent Rasmussen Reports poll, he BEAT both Giuliani and McCain.
Here is a link that can probably help you, it gives the stances of the presidential candidates

Senator Obama has a chance to pull the swing vote and undecideds.
Senator Clinton has no chance because there is no swing vote and no undecided. Polls continually show that she would never pull the electoral votes.

No, look at the results of the last mid-term election. I don't think this country is as bigoted as a whole as some people think.

Whether the Republicans automatically win depends on how many voting machines they fix or hack.

They will win no matter which candidate the democrats put up.
By hook or by crook.
