I'm going to come back and cast my vote when Obama is added to the poll.

I think the eventual Democratic nominee is going to beat the eventual Republican nominee. I'm basing that mostly on the energy, unity, and motivation of the parties as I see them now.

Republicans do not seem very excited about their choices. They are not turning out for their primaries in especially large numbers. Almost every candidate has some part of the GOP party that does not like him. The party is weary. The failed Bush presidency doesn't reflect well on Republicans, and they are feeling it.

Democrats are excited about their choices. In many primaries with equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans registered, nearly TWICE as many Democrats are turning out for their primary than Republicans. About 70% or more of Democrats say they would be happy with either Obama or Clinton, while none of the Republican candidates have that kind of broad support within their party. So the Dems are more united. Democrats see their chance, and they are motivated.

At this point, it looks like McCain will have the Republican nomination. The Democratic race is still up for grabs, but I think it will swing for Obama. If it's Obama vs. McCain, I think Obama will take it. If it's Clinton vs. McCain, it will be closer, but I still think the Dems have it.

So going out on a limb, I will say that Obama will be the next president. Get ready to suck it up Republicans! I know that if Obama becomes president of the US, many of you will consider the country an Obama-nation, but after you brought us the WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY, you need to just sit back and take a rest for a few years.
