Barack Obama, just another politician
Unless I seriously miss my guess (and I’ve missed guesses that badly before), Barack Obama will win the New Hampshire primary, and therefore become the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.
. . .
What gives Obama his strength in a general election is his persona. Like Reagan (albeit from the other side of the spectrum), Obama uses his persona to either obscure or make palatable his left-wing views. Unlike Reagan, however, Obama does not have the sense of seriousness and depth that Reagan had built in his quarter-century of GE television appearances and radio addresses. When this is brought to light, his persona will wear thin, and if his little hide-the-abortion-supporter scheme gets enough notice, his persona will be exposed as fraudulent, and therefore become useless.

Who is easier to beat in a general election? Obama or Hillary?

Obama is much easier to beat. Hillary's dirty laundry has already been exposed. She's been under the microscope for years. I doubt they'll find anything new to talk about.
Obama is a total cherry. They'll be able to dig up fresh dirt on a daily basis. They'll whip him like they caught him stealing chickens.

Makes little difference. Both will lose.
71% of DemoRats voted against Shrillery! She lost the women's vote to Obama. And she thought she could count on them to become the first female POTUS!

My previous post refers to Iowa - a most liberal state among its DemoRat constituency.
