Reply #151: I and every voter I know personally.

[quakerboy]

From my family I can speak of 7 voters I know well. 6 are supporting Obama. 4 of those will stay home in the general if Hillary wins. One would vote for Hillary if she had no other choice, and one is undecided as to what he would do. The 7th voter is a republican who is wavering between Obama and McCain, and hates Hillary.

Of if you prefer, my observations from the guys who were in my dorm in college. Of about 20 that I have been talking to lately, they are split into approximate thirds for Obama, McCain, and staying home. The thing they all have in common are is an active dislike for Hillary. Republics particularly, in my experience, hate Hillary like there is no tomorrow. She is a guaranteed turnout getter for McCain. And that is electability down the drain.

The fact remains that no matter what reasonable measure you use in this race thus far, Barack is winning. If Hillary manages to blow him out in every singe remaining state, I might concede electibility. Otherwise, she cannot even get his autograph, much less play in the same league.
