I do not think that if hillary fails to gain the nomination any one of these Republicans can take Obama in the general Election.
Ron Paul could though.

It is my opinion that when the American public begins to get honest news coverage about Hillary and Obama and the media has to start asking particulars about their beliefs that both would lose to any of the above mentioned candidates. Regardless of what the polls say and what the Democrats think, the majority of Americans still do not believe that government is the answer to all of our problems.

I think Rudy or McCain could. Obama is all rhetoric but has no record to stand on other than two mediocre years in the Senate. He is ill-equipped and ill-experienced to be President and the fact that he thinks he can shortcut to the highest office in the land shows that he is a victim of his own ego. Obama would be a disaster. In eight years with some real Senatorial experience, he may be a candidate, but his rhetoric doesn't match his actions and I just don't trust that kind of inconsistency.
McCain has 20-plus years of bucking the system and working across party lines to accomplish goals. Nobody, especially an Ivy-educated, global vacationer like Obama, could ever understand the depth of the sacrifice and integrity John McCain exhibits. His experience is also second to none. I like McCain because he sticks by his principles, even when they are inconvenient. I can't say that about any other candidate.
Say what you want about Paul, but noninterventionism in theory is isolationism in practice. McCain was right to evoke Pearl Harbor at the debate. That history is very relevant. Simply bc he had a great fundraising day in no way ensures he will get anywhere near the top-tier candidates. He's still way behind in overall fundraising and although the internet is improving as a political tool, his rabid, accusatory supporters turn off even more people than his ignorance of history and foreign policy.

I strongly supported Obama and had hoped to see him become our next president. However, it has become obvious that he strongly supports giving amnesty to illegal aliens and based on that I have changed my mind. He, Hillary and Giuliani all support amnesty, 80% of the American people do not. Several other candidates support amnesty in one way or the other. Almost any of the Republican candidates except Giuliani can beat Hillary but there are democratic candidates truthfully campaigning that the republicans may have trouble beating. In spite of the quality of most of the Republican candidates the Republican Party has presented themselves very poorly in the past four years, both in their work and in their personal morals and that will hurt even the good republicans. Clinton started out with some gray areas in her background and has made things worse for herself with her stand on amnesty, her flip--flopping, accepting questionable contributions, sniveling when she gets picked on, and believing she has the best experience to become president. Democrats need to hope she will not become the democratic choice as almost any of the republicans (except Giuliani) will beat her.

OMG, I pray everyday that Ms. Clinton does not get the nomination!!
I am a registered independent, which means I cannot vote in our states primary elections; and I have studied all of the candidates positions so that I am prepared once the race is decided.
I do not think Mr. Paul can win againt anyone, and, if Ms. Clinton wins the Democratic nomination, his voters will only sink her in the end; thus, we will be stuck with another elite Republican demigod, and I will take it as a real sign that the end is truly near.
Ugh....
Obama is our only hope.......................

If the elections were held right now, against the Republicans you mentioned, I'd say the odds are pretty good that Obama would become the nation's first black President.
I'm not an Obama supporter but if those were my choices he'd get my vote.

The Republican candidates you mentioned in my opinion could not defeat Obama. Obama/Paul race would be extremely close.

It doesn't matter who the republicans put up, after the last election when they lost the house and senate, the American public has showed that they are sick and tired of the ideology of the republican party. When they lose the white house they will blame everyone but themselves, that is how they operate

No, Ron Paul could not. I think any of the others might make it interesting.

Obama would probably beat any of the Repub frontrunners
polls show over and over he would even turn a percentage of Repubs to vote for him, plus the vast majority of the independants (who are the ones that really pick every president)
