If, as seems fairly likely at this point, John McCain comes out of Super Fat Tuesday with a lock on the Republican nomination, the most important question for Democrats is who can beat him. Most polls have Barack Obama narrowly beating McCain and Hillary Clinton narrowly losing to him, although it’s pretty early in the process and the margins are too narrow to put too much stock in them at this point. But there’s good reason to believe that Obama would have a far easier time beating McCain than Clinton would.
And that’s something primary voters should think seriously about before casting their ballots today.
