Obama Says he has better chance against GOP

I agree with him as well.

"I have no doubt that I can get the people who vote for Senator Clinton. ...
It's not clear that Senator Clinton can get all the people I'm getting," he
said.

I think many Democratic leaders underestimate how hated Hillary is by many on the Right. The GOP would pull out all the stops to try to "Swiftboat" her. The bad part is that she has had lots of involvement in various scandals over the past 30 years. It would be easy to derail her whole campaign with some Rose Law Firm crap from the 70s or more Vince Foster details.

Obama on the other hand seems to have admitted all of his youthful wrongdoing and would be would hard to hit with a scandal. The GOP would have to run against his inexperience in comparison to McCain and maybe even on the actual issues.

I can see a Hillary v. McCain election being a political cage match with both sides carpet bombing each other. I can just see a young Clintonista trying to dig up stuff about McCain's Vietnam years and blowing her campaign up with it. They can barely stop the people on their own side from saying whatever they want against Obama. Just wait until a GOPer gets in their crosshairs. So you can just imagine a Far Left operative (that of course holds all Vets in contempt) trying to go after his POW status or saying the Vietcong gave him special treatment or some other strait-up lie and killing her campaign with it.

Perhaps an Obama v. McCain election will come down to the issues and experience v. inexperience, age v. youth, and instead of about made up charges and dirty tricks. Perhaps the election would be a germane and respectful dialogue instead of everyone shouting at each other Fox News style. It seems Obama has already started down this road by actually campaigning in the Red states which have been forsaken by the Dems. Could Obama be the Great Uniter? Could he be the Dems version of Ronald Reagan? It would be interesting to see that after 4 years a pro-security, pro-renewable energy, pro-amnesty voter would be known as an Obama Republican.
