Obama, Clinton Both Fatally Flawed

Check out this article by Fox News panelist and long-time Washington observer Mort Kondracke. His day job is as Executive Editor of Roll Call. Kondracke believes that Obama's two decade long association and friendship with the racist, anti-American Reverend Jeremiah Wright all but makes him unelectable as President of these United States.

Meanwhile Hillary Clinton has the highest negatives of any national politician of modern times. She can be counted on to unify the somewhat divided Republican Party.

Finally, a recent poll shows that around one fifth of Democrat primary voters say they would vote Republican or stay home if their candidate (either Obama or Clinton) doesn't win the Democratic nomination. So...if Obama doesn't win blacks and the young stay home while if Clinton doesn't win white blue collar voters and women stay home.

All of the above makes it somewhat easier to understand why John McCain is ahead of both Democrats in the polls, in some cases by double digits (if only barely). It looks like the Democrats have, once again, formed a circular firing squad and shot themselves up pretty badly. Okay, folks, please reload and fire for effect. As they say at McDonalds these days, "I'm lovin' it."
