The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows that Barack Obama (D) currently holds a seven-point advantage over John McCain (R), 46% to 39%. However, if the Democrats nominate Hillary Clinton, McCain will begin the race with a fourteen point advantage, 49% to 35%. %. National polling, updated daily, currently shows the same general trend with Obama currently performing better than Clinton in match-ups with McCain.

You really can't get a clearer picture of how much stronger Obama is in the general election. Let's not delude ourselves into thinking Obama will win across the country. But he's clearly a much stronger candidate. Colorado was a state Bush won by 5% or 100,000 votes. It's not out of reach, if we nominate the right candidate.
