McCain: gaining on Obama, slipping against Hillary

Not that this should suprise anyone, but here's the latest polling data from RealClearPolitics:

General Election: McCain vs. Obama
RCP Average
McCain
45.5
Obama
44.8
McCain +0.7

General Election: McCain vs. Clinton
RCP Average
McCain
44.2
Clinton
46.3
Clinton +2.1

As I keep saying, if there is a Republican argument for Hillary based on strategy, I'm all ears.

UPDATE: Dr. Helen quotes conservative comedian Julie Gorin who says (in part):

"...we are faced with the real possibility of a second Clinton presidency."
Hey, I'm not laughing!

Adds Dr. Helen,

The jokes are also humorous but honestly, I would rather just avoid another Clinton presidency altogether and let Clintonisms recede into the annals of history....
I make no secret of my antipathy to the Clintons and the idea of returning them to the White House fills me with horror, fear, and loathing.

But maybe I should look on the bright side. Maybe Clinton II will conflate the annals of history into the annals of comedy.

I could be wrong however I do not believe the Democrat Party can afford to be Moveon.orged if they give the nomination to Clinton; if they could they would have gotten rid of Obama months ago.

In any case, I tired of hearing about what polls say since they change daily, that, and wneever a othe poll calls I would lie about everything, so much so that now I just don't bother answering my home phone.

Wonder what the polls would say if they asked how many people lie to the pollster?

So, six months away from election day, McCain is ahead of Obama and trailing Hillary.

Six months ago, Hillary was inevitable and Rudy was the presumptive challenger.

Polls have many uses. Predicting elections more than two weeks in advance is not one of them.

The Democrats cannot select Hillary without a huge number of Obama supporters feeling very strongly that the nomination was stolen by the party insiders, so they will select Obama, even if he's believed to be a loser in the general. They'd rather run the risk of losing this election, than risk losing their most loyal demographic.

Hillary cannot win the nomination, so why not keep her hoping that she can? The longer she tries, the more damage she does.

How's that for a strategy?
