Obama is drawing so many moderates and independents to the Democratic race
from what would normally be the ranks of the Republican electorate that 1) he's
rolling up large margins and stitching together a broader coalition, and 2) he's
making the Republican electorate comparatively smaller, and more
conservative.
I think Obama broadly appeals to anyone that isn't far right who wants a change in the country. He seems to be above the partisan fray and could be the kind of guy that won't be as devisive as Hillary. I think a choice between McCain and Obama will come down to experience versus a hope for change.
Do you want an experienced hand that has been in the fight for years but differs from Bush in several key ways or a fresh face that hasn't really been battle tested yet? We might even be able to afford some-on-the-job training as long as Obama would be willing to admit he is wrong and right the ship.
A battle between Hillary (who might be on her last legs) and McCain would be the same old partisan fist fight we have seen before. I think McCain would win comfortably if that would happen since people underestimate how much Hillay is hated by the right.
