41. I'm not saying she is - Obama hopefully can win a lot of them. |

It just seems that she will do better in the larger purple states. Those are the key to winning the election. I switched from being and Edwards supporter to being a very lukewarm Hillary supporter.
I worry about Obama - I just don't think he has enough national security experience to win. The Repubs fight dirty and you can count on some "terrorist" event to just happen to come up right before election time.
The other thing I'm worried about is that the media has not been reporting anything negative about Obama. I've seen it where they have built up a Dem candidate and then turned on them in the General Election. What can they really dig up about Hillary? They will harp on his lack of experience, how he is the "most liberal senator" a-la Kerry, McGovern, Mondale (that's something that's already been stated many times). That flies with the Dems but NOT with moderates and independants.
He is also weak with women's issues and they are another key to the election.
If I were convinced that he had the best chance in the General - I would be a lot more for him.
