No surprise.
But the Republican faces hurdles within his own party. Overall, those surveyed in a Times/Bloomberg poll say they want a Democrat in the White House.

WASHINGTON — Democrats have an overwhelmingly favorable view of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, but she would be soundly beaten if she ran for president against Republican Sen. John McCain now, a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.
Underscoring the New York Democrat's potential vulnerability, the poll also found that Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican little known to most voters, would give Clinton a run for her money.
Given a choice between McCain and Clinton, half of those surveyed said they would vote for the Arizona Republican, compared with 36% for the former first lady. In a matchup with Romney, the poll indicated Clinton would win by just 6 percentage points, 42% to 36%.
Those findings lend credence to some Democrats' fear that despite Clinton's strength within the party, she is too polarizing a figure to win the White House. . . .

Let's hope so. He'd be more effective than her or than Bush has ever been, and who could stand seeing Clinton on TV all the time? Fortunately she has big negatives amongst sizable portions of the electorae so they'd be foolish to even allow her to run.

I think she is a dead bang loser in the general election, but I'll be very surprised if she doesn't run at this point. She has more money and more name recognition than any other Dem candidate right now.

Unfortunately for Hillary, she is disliked.
She is a very intelligent woman. If congress would have been receptive to her health care and management plans, we wouldn't be worrying about if grandma should buy food or her meds.

Clinton will only get it if the Republicans have their way. What an easy win for even the worst of the republicans... Tom Delay could win over Clinton. Now lets see how things would change with Obama vs. McCain. I'm hearing from some republicans that even like him.

Obama is still a darling because he hasn't defined himself yet. Just wait till he speaks on homosexuality, abortion, crime, etc.

That he is an unqualified, hardheaded, quasi-socialist who should not be president and definitely shouldn't be CIC.
