The Democrats now know who they have to beat. In the upcoming primaries and caucuses, the Democrats will have to look to the candidate that can rival John McCain's appeal to independants. That candidate is certainly not Hillary Clinton. The real advantage may ultimately be for Obama. The Democrats now know who they have to beat.

Doesn't seem like that's money wasted come November. And if the Democrats continue to hold debates where they spend all their time defining themselves against McCain, rather than each other?

I can't believe he did as well as he did. Now you have a front runner in support of a war that doesn't sit well with over half the population. He may be the front runner but all thats doing is securing a loss for the republican party. If the republicans really want to win the white house McCain is not the answer. I have listened to all debates and am astonished at the lack of votes for Ron Paul, someone who actually says something that is believable and would have policies that would unite a congress and country. But the lack of coverage by the networks of Paul must mean he's not their man. No chance. I can't believe he did as well as he did.

Gen. Petraeus himself forecasts that the Republican's plans for Iraq will end up costing $1.6 trillion. That's TRILLION, not billion. Do you honestly think any intelligent American will vote for that?

As long as Hillary and Obama keep it above board, they will continue to bring energy to the Democrats throughout the entire country while the Republicans disappear from view. Except for the politicians, no one right now is focused on November. Actually I think this works to the Republican's disadvantage as they will disappear from the news while the Democrats monpolize.

They are NOT and will NOT unify because the amount of hate the ultra right has for moderation is way past party lines. They have made it clear that they either won't vote or will vote for the Democratic nominee to "bring Republicans back to their senses". I am an avid Obama supporter, and won't miss Mitt at all. The time has come for REAL CHANGE- he said he offered that, but we know that he just meant a change to the extreme right. Our time has come! No advantage to Republicans at all!

Charismatic more than McCain. Bigger job winning if running against Obama, easier if running against Clintons, because that duality of the Clintons will be their downfall McCain could win, but he'd be better off with Romney now at VP, I think.

I would just like to see them go fight in Iraq. Oh yea, that's for the poor. As long as the Republicans continue to push War and Debt, they will lose. I would just like to see them go fight in Iraq.

Absolutely the Republicans have a huge advantage in the General Election . . . if Hillary Clinton gets the democratic nomination. McCain swings plenty of independents and, the Republicans will certainly support him just to stop the Clintons from moving back in to the White House. Matt Estell - Littleton, CO Hi Jack,
