Bernie proves he is more electable with shocking new poll numbers.

54. I have the same concern.

Honestly, in terms of this particular issue, I really don't know. On the one hand Senator Clinton has all these negatives, but as you say, it's all been hashed out endlessly, and unless there's something else we've yet to hear (always a possibility) at least we'll know the general gist of the attacks the GOP will mount.

Bernie, on the other hand, seems at this point rather squeaky clean, but as has been pointed out, he hasn't received nearly the kind of intense scrutiny that Hillary has.

To some degree it hardly matters, in the sense that whoever the candidate is, the Republicans will attack attack attack. I thought John Kerry's record in Vietnam was unassailable, I had no idea "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" would have such an impact (and obviously neither did he).

I think Rubio right now is the candidate on the other side who worries me the most. Like the others, his agenda is horrific, his personal ethics highly questionable. But the media dubs him "serious" and "personable"--a replay of the "who would you want to have a beer with" nonsense that helped Bush II steal the day.

Whoever our candidate is, I'll support him or her to the best of my means and ability. That's the only thing I know for absolute sure right now.

Best wishes, and hang in there!
