Looks like Hillary will soon be cracking open some GOP skulls with her high heel.

The dominatrix of Ohio and Florida is Dominating!

Kasich (who isn't really known) is probably a stand in for "generic republican" but it is interesting that the four well-known pubs all lose points vs. the generic. Each one has different baggage, but none of them can claim to have any extra 'electibility' appeal

Uh, this is Ohio. Kasich is the most well known and popular of all the GOPers there, considering he's, you know, the governor of the state.

Nothing like polling likely voters for an election 2 years away.

Yeah, because November 1st, 2014 is the peak of Democratic popularity.

Yeah, because the average voter in Ohio is aware of who Jeb Bush or Rick Perry is.

I doubt the eventual GOP nominee will be as popular as Kasich currently is, as he skates to a landslide win under fawning media coverage (unlike Hillary who has been through the political meat grinder in the last few months). Yet she still beats him. By a bigger margin than Obama beat Romney. In a lower turnout electorate.

Hillary is only ahead because of more name recognition than Jeb Bush and the poll is also way off into the outskirts of margin of error and Kasich is actually beating her! This is totally a fair assessment and not a desperate hack rationalization in the slightest!

How is thinking that polls released 2 years in advance of election day not accurate hackish? Clinton was supposed to runaway with the Democratic nomination in 2008 too and it didn't happen.

Nope. Hillary was polling in the 30s/40s at this point in 2006, now she's polling in the 60s/70s.

Sorry but I don't believe I am being a hack because I am skeptical of these very early polls.

I still think Hilary is the favorite at this point, but a lot of Democrats expecting her to win 330+ electoral votes are way out of touch with reality.

How is thinking Hillary could do better than Obama did in 2012 out of touch with reality?

Because it is too early to understand what the political climate will be, and who she will be facing off against in the primary and in the general election.

I don't see why that means she can't possibly do better than Obama did in 2012.

She could possibly do better, but I said there are many Democrats who believe she will do better, and its too early to say that.

Why is it? That's what the polls currently say. Yes, they could easily change, but despite my reputation I've never said Hillary was a lock in the general (though I have said she's a lock in the primary, and I stand by that prediction).
