It's beginning to look like it will be Hillary vs. McCain in the general. Two big government tax and spend Washington insiders. Whichever one wins things won't change much.

Unless things change between now and the election I think the Democrats will win whether it's Hillary or Obama. I think Obama would be harder to beat than Hillary though. Whatever racial prejudice there is against Obama is easily trumped by the large percentage of the population that dislikes Hillary.

McCain is just too liberal for the Republican base to get too excited about and I think many will just not care enough to vote. It is possible that the dislike for Hillary could cause them to vote for the least negative but positive reinforcement usually works better.

It is interesting that Obama is doing so well in the red states where the Democrats don't usually win anyway. One would think that if there was going to be a large backlash against Obama's race that it would show up there. Also I thought I heard on the news last night that exit polls showed that Obama got the majority of white votes in California.
