rather than January, CLinton would win (assuming these two candidates). Obama is reeling, making errors, not responding quickly, the Democrats are seeing Hillary as tough, as someone less prone to the 'Wright" type of problems (I am just talking Dems here--the national electorate still hates her:-)--since the numbers favor Obama he can run out the clock in effect, but if he is nominated he is a looking to be a weak national candidate, though Hillary is still totally unelectable. maineblackbear
