The conventional thinking and wisdom seems to be shifting that Obama is the candidate that the republicans can beat easier.  He is too inexperienced particularly in Foreign Policy.  This is an "illusion" caused by the fact that Clinton has the party establishment behind her.  What happens if Obama wins and lines up a strong foreign policy team.  Say what you want about these guys as politician's but guys like Biden, Richardson, Sam Nunn, and George Mitchell do understand the world and will form an effective national security team to advise him.  Then add a cross over or two from the republican party with foreign policy credentials ( I thinking Colin Powell but maybe Chuck Hagel) and the issue of his foreign policy experience is minimized.  He has the right team.  The debate will be framed ( fueled by the news media ) as to what is our exit strategy for Iraq?  McCain made a huge mistake in saying we could be there for 100 years as long as we don't have causalities.  He cites Germany, Korea, and Japan.  These people want us there.  The Middle East doesn't want us there.  It's a different part of the world.  McCain will lose this debate and if Obama has foreign policy experience concerns minimized, he'll beat McCain here.  He'll beat McCain on the economy also.  In the end this is a change election and Obama will represent that over McCain.  He has the potential to blow McCain out if he gets rid of fear over his foreign policy experience.  Hillary on the other hand will have trouble hitting 51% of the vote with her negatives.

Now, it's clear that Obama will have some difficulty in OH, PA with the some bigots.  However, he'll bring in some young voters who will partially offset that. But he'll be really strong in CO, VA, Nevada, Missouri and other republican critical states

My goodness...what is it with Republicans and these ridiculous "what if" scenerios lately.

Don't you know?  We are all part of a vast right wing conspiracy trying to figure out ways to damage the democrats.  So, we are discussing our secret plots
