WHY OBAMA? #1
26% of Republicans in NV would consider voting for Barack.
That's 1/4 of all Republicans! Add that to ALL Democrats (not all Dems will vote for Hillary, see article below) and many Independents and you get a LANDSLIDE victory in November 2008.
Karl Rove didn't resign from the White Haus to twiddle his thumbs. My personal suspicion is he's behind Guiliani's campaign. Rove and Republican powers are planning a huge assault on the next Democrat. And they'll stoop to nothing to win (I know, that sounds like Hillary, too).
Democrats have lost the last two presidential elections.
The tricks in Florida in 2000 and Ohio & New Mexico in 2004 will look like kids play.
Democrats have to sweep into the Oval Office and Congress in a LANDSLIDE. Hillary gets 9% of Republicans. Barack gets 26%. As a strategically thinking Democrat, who would you vote for?
Barack is the one to beat the Republicans by a landslide in Nevada.

But Clinton does not fare well in a hypothetical general-election matchup with Giuliani, with the former New York City mayor besting her 51 percent to 44 percent. The poll showed Clinton also trailing Thompson as well as the GOP voters' third preference, Mitt Romney.
.....
The Clinton campaign has had to contend with the persistent impression that the former first lady is a polarizing figure, so deeply disliked by so many voters that she can't change enough minds to win in November 2008. This poll reinforces that idea.
Although 82 percent of Democrats would consider Clinton, just 10 percent of Republicans and 42 percent of independents said they would give her a chance.
By contrast, 26 percent of Republicans would take a look at Obama, 19 percent Edwards and 22 percent Richardson.
Men seemed especially repelled by Clinton. Just a third, 34 percent, said they might be willing to vote for her; the lowest percentage of men who would consider any other candidate was 43, for Edwards.
