"Winning the primaries isn't a good indication of who can win the general election."
That's from the Clinton campaign conference call, that's being broadcast now on POTUS 08 on XM radio. It was a male from the campaign speaking, I didn't catch who.

3. Unfortunately, stupid though it may be, it's clearly true.
Which is why Democrats so often chose a clear loser
to run in the General Election.

4. No, I think what they are saying is that the preference of Democrats doesn't necessarily speak to
who Repubs might cross over for.

5. Two words: Michael. Dukakis.
