When we all know that Obama will take nearly the same percentage as Clinton in the GE as long as Clinton supporters don't throw a tantrum and vote for McCain out of spite!

2. I'm sorry but the electability argument...
I'm not against having the discussion on it. And I can think of any number of politicians and candidates who, up against Obama could make the claim that they would be more electable than him for any number of reasons, whether they're fair, justified, prejudice or not.

However the fact that anyone touts Hilly Clinton of all people as being more electable than ANYONE is absurd. They want to make the experience argument then great. They want to make any number of arguments then great. But saying that one of the most polarizing political figures in the country is more electable than anyone is just laughable on all levels. Regardless of whether people's opinions of her are justified, the fact is that they are what they are.

3. Obama can't beat McCain
...without the support of the 18 million Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton.
That's a fact that the HillHate trolls are counting on, as they work hard to drive
voters away from Senator Obama.
