Democrat Barack Obama has opened an 8-point national lead on Republican John McCain as the U.S. presidential rivals turn their focus to a general election race, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

Obama, who was tied with McCain in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup last month, moved to a 48 percent to 40 percent lead over the Arizona senator in May as he took command of his grueling Democratic presidential duel with rival Hillary Clinton.

You don't have to keep clinging to those lifeboats any more, folks. Hillary's lost, there's nothing she can do about it at this point, and Obama IS going to be our nominee. And as fucked up as the GOP is right now, after eight years of the most inept leadership in our history, there is NO fucking way that we should lose this year - regardless of who our nominee is.

1. woot

2. polls dont mean a thing to diebold

[Greenwood]

3. Zogby......enough said

Hillary IS our best chance.

[Hugabear]

5. She can't even win the nomination. What in the HELL makes you think she can win in November?

I'm just curious how you feel that she can do better than Obama, when she can't even win her party's nomination?

21. And, as quiet as it's kept, if Sen. Obama had actively campaigned

in WV and KY, her "big" wins wouldn't have been so big. She's going for the "popular" vote argument, and Obama's helping her. LOL!

6. No, not enough said. Do tell.

What about zogby?

[me b zola]

4. Obama's lead will widen when we finally lose the albatross around our necks

Won't be soon enough for me.

[Robbins]

8. ZOgby

He nailed the NC primary while others had It close and was the best when It came to Indiana.And
back In 2000 was one of the few pollsters at the end that had Gore ahead(we all know Gore won the
election)

[Zambero]

10. Bush III can't win

Yup, hopefully that "albatross" you mention will be on board soon. On the other hand, McCain & Republicans in general will never be able to shed the disaster known as GWB (now at 23% approval). The "No third term for Bush" theme will be hammered home loud and clear between now and November.

7. so you think..

I wonder WHEN the RW will begin their LONG AWAITED ATTACK on The OBAMA'S?? Obama is Unelectable in the GE! Say it..

[cali]

9. OK.

Hilly is done. toast finished. And Obama is very electable in the General Election. The stupidest hillydroid line is the one that Obama has some deep dark secret that only the repukes know. Oh, and that should be "Obamas"- no apostrophe.

[indimuse]

23. i stand corrected..."Obamas"

To the end cali.. you know this. I don't know about this so called secret...But, I do know , the RW machine has not even revved their engine's yet!

[wileedog]

27. They didn't have to, Hillary was doing it for them

[Hugabear]

12. You seem like you're actually looking forward to that

Will you be supporting McCain in November? Will you vote for Obama?

Let the GOP bring their attack dogs. Let McCain contort himself into a snarling angry old man. People will see it for what it is - the desperate futile actions of a party that is woefully out of touch.

McCain represents more Bush policies. McCain represents more confrontation with Iraq, Iran, etc. Obama represents change. Obama represents a new course. People are fed up with the GOP.

[slinkerwink]

13. I disagree with you on that.

[Dark]

28. Oh, but the candidate who couldn't even win against a toned down campaign would win th GE?

11. Awesome! Now if we can just get Michelle to keep quiet.

[Zambero]

14. Michele is an asset

The RW character assassination squad routinely goes after a candidates' spouse, every time with no exceptions. Does that mean that we take their lead and sideline someone like Michele Obama? That is excactly what they seek. Michele is a thoughtful and articulate presence whose presence on the campaign trail will only help Obama. The wingnuts will continue to preach to their own choir. After all, what else do they have besides a failed presidency and no agenda other than "stay the course"?

[Perry Logan]

17. She used psychotic imagery in talking about a fellow Democrat. Jackie Kennedy she ain't.

[indimuse]

26. really?

15. Zogby? LOL!

[IsItJustMe]

16. Yes, but he has a problem in Kentucky, and we all know the KY and WV are vital in November.

:sarcasm:

[Zachstar]

18. Indeed and now he is having problems getting the Mars vote.

The little green things from Mars don't like outsiders.

[Zambero]

19. Kentucky "vital"? It's a dark red state write-off

And WV has certainly been trending right in recent years. I'll gladly swap WV's (5?) electoral votes for larger states like Iowa, Virginia, or Colorado, where recent election results and demographic shifts favor progressive candidates.

[Iceburg]

20. The last Dem president won both KY & WV ... your EC radar needs a tune-up

[Zachstar]

22. The last dem president got lucky when the .com era boosted ratings across the board.

After 9/11 and the collapse of the economy. Those states are not going to give Obama OR Clinton a chance.

[Hepburn]

24. GOBAMA! n/t

[Zachstar]

25. YES WE CAN!!!
