Which democratic cantidate stands the best chance of winning the presidency?

I'm not asking who stands the best chance of winning the nomination, I'm asking if you took Obama vs McCain, and Clinton vs McCain, who would be the most likely to win and why?

Public Comments

1. obama
2. Obam vs McCain, Obama will get 3 votes. Period. That's it. He won't carry a single state, only DC. Sorry if you don't like it, but it is just the way it is.
3. It Obama is the nominee McCain will win in the biggest landslide ever.
4. Ironically Hillary has the best chance of winning the general election but almost no chance of winning the nomination. Oh to be young and a republican...............sigh
5. I don't think the dems stand a snowballs chance of winning the election this year, but I would say if it was a Hillary/McCain ticket Hillary might stand a better chance after all of Obama's church preacher and racial comments.
6. Neither,
7. Hillary is the only Dem that can stand up to the Republican attack machine. Obama is a walking disaster waiting to happen. He has zero qualifications and tons of dirty laundry. Hillary is vetted, tough and experienced. Obama has a racist pig for a mentor. How on earth could he beat a war hero with that background? No way on earth.
8. If they do not work together neither will win the General Election in 2008. There is too much incentive for the 2012 election for one to permit the other to win in 2008. If McCain wins in 2008, he will make such a mess that the 2012 General Election will be an easy win for the Democratic nominee. Right now it appears that Barack Obama will win the nomination for 2008. However Barack Obama does not understand the national economy. If Barack Obama deos win the 2008 election, he will lose to the Republican in 2012 because of the mess he made of the economy. All of the incentives are for Hillary Clinton to permit her supporters to vote for John McCain, which will give him the Presidency in 2008. Then Hillary will come back and win the 2012 General Election and fix the mess that John McCain made of the economy. Hillary will not have to battle Barack Obama for the nomination in 2012 because Barack Obama will have lost the General Election to John McCain in 2008. Having lost the General Election in 2008, the Democratic Party will not give Barack obama another shot at the nomination in 2012. That will leave to path to the Presidency wide open for Hillary Clinton in 2012. All she has to do is make certain that John McCain wins the General Election in 2008.
9. Obama. Once in a while you find a candidate who can communicate so much better than others that he/she can convince people to follow their lead. Obama is that Candidate. He speaks carefully and deliberately. He looks at the other side, take the time and effort to understand the other side, and then he lets the other side know that he will find a solution that will help them too. John McCain is a good candidate, but this choice is an easy one for America. America wants this war over, McCain has been more than clear that he has no intention to move in that direction. McCain's wait and see approach to the economy, whether it's valid or not, provides no comfort at all to the average voter. John McCain has a lot of enemies in his own party, and while they would not go so far as to vote for a democrat, that's a lot of people that will stay at home one Tuesday in November. John McCain has a broad appeal(I like the guy), but not as much as obama, so they will both draw independent voters, but Obama will bring in more, including the seldom seen young voter(and there are millions) Obama will get the Democratic vote, people will come out in droves for him after 8 years of GWB, but he also draws on a army of new Democrats from the black community, the youth movement and, well....Oprah fans. This biggest question mark is the Christian right. There have been rumors of widespread discontent with the republican party among the Chistian right. They went through a period of time with a republican in the white house, and a majority in the Senate and the house and a 7-2 majority on the supreme court and yet abortion is still legal in all 50 states. They don't feel their families are any safer and they don't know that the environmental policies of their party is what they want for their grandchildren. So the question is, will they all stay with their party? Will many of them stay home? Or will a large number of them give a new party a try? 3 possibilties, 2 of them help Obama, and the other leaves him no worse than a democratic candidate in the past. Add up those factors and the deck is stacked heavily in Obama's favor. I'm very hopeful that we get a chance to see this play out, it's been a while since we had 2 good choices.
