Reply #34: I can't see why they would feel that way.

When all evidence is completely to the contrary as to which candidate they would perform better against.

Poll after poll says Obama beats McCain at the same time McCain beats Clinton. All over the country.

They aren't afraid of Hillary. Nor should they be. They've got a clear plan to beat her and it should be effective given how strongly opinionated their base is about her. Obama doesn't cause the same reaction that turns out their considerably disenchanted base.

They don't just want Hillary. They NEED Hillary. Otherwise they are looking at getting blown out in November, including down ticket in the congressional and senate races. Hillary is their one chance to mitigate that because she'll turn out the base...THEIR base.
