There's a great Obama v. McCain discussion going on in my comments section. Let's make a new post and continue the discussion.
Most of the opinion articles this weekend were devoted to telling Clinton to drop out of the race. Dowd writes "Surrender Already, Dorothy." Even if Clinton hasn't officially dropped out, yet, I think it's time to start thinking about the next step -- The Obama-McCain race.
Ya gotta give McCain props for doing so well in the polls. He's a hair above Obama in the polling. A few months ago, I would have said that any Republican had zero chance in November, but I guess I was wrong. Despite getting us into a hugely unpopular war, people are still willing to vote for a Republican. There are people who buy their children cereal straws, too, so my opinion of human nature is rather low right now.
However, I am not yet ready to put too much weight on this early polling data. Candidates always get a bump in their numbers after the nomination. McCain's numbers are artificially high. If things are still neck and neck after Hillary drops out, then I'll worry.
