Obama has advantage in head-to-head with McCain

[Canuck_Buck]

Sen. John McCain became the likely Republican nominee after Mitt Romney decided to suspend his campaign Thursday. Now, the Democrats are debating who would do better against the Arizona Republican.

Obama looks stronger than Clinton. Why?

Obama's explanation: "I think there is no doubt that she has higher negatives than any of the remaining Democratic candidates. That's just a fact, and there are some who will not vote for her."
That was three weeks ago. Now, only two Democratic candidates remain.

Clinton does have higher negatives than Obama -- and McCain. Forty-four percent of the public say they don't like Clinton, compared with 36 percent who don't like McCain and 31 percent who don't like Obama,

Mccain's camp has already said they can't criticize Obama. Obama has gotten a huge pass so far by the media. He has been allowed to stay very vague on everything he says. Let's face it, they have drilled Clinton. There is an opening for McCains camp but he needs to expose Obama's lack of a real plan and he needs to go physcal conservative with the public.3 trillion budget and 9 tillion on credit get's everyone's attention and that needs to be the focus. Both Obama and Clinton talk about tax increases on the rich but not to address the 9 trillion. They want to spend it. Truth be told, what they both want to spend, the raises won't even come close.
