General election polls are meaningless
At this point. In 1988 Dukakis was 17 pts up on Bush at one point and by the time the GOP was done with him he had been reduced to a clown. Obama or Clinton are not Dukakis but the dynamics of a general election are much different from those of primaries. These GoOPers and media-whores that are kissing Obama now will be telling a different tale in the fall. We all know that.

Anyone who thinks Obama will not be completely flayed by the GOP/MSM alliance is deluded. I see lots of people say that Hillary's negatives are too high so they are choosing the safer bet. Guess what, by the time the media does an about turn on Obama, his negatives may be just as high. I'm still uncommitted because I really do not know who the better choice is. Hillary will be a very good president but Obama may be a transformational one. I just know that Ill be happily voting straight Dem in Nov regardless of who I support in the primary. 8 years of Bush has been hell and McCain might even be worse.
