As a German, I just can't see how Democrats consider Clinton the most electable candidate?
Consider her high negatives. Lots of Independents and Democrats dislike her, not to mention Republicans.
I don't see her winning a single Southern state (apart from perhaps Florida - not really part of the South with all those snowbirds). I think a Hillary campaign could simply not be a landslide. It'd come down to OH and FL. As in 2000 and 2004.
By comparison, I think Obama really opens up the south. He doesn't feel culturally alien, I should say, in those parts of the country.
2008 is arguably - like 2004 and to a lesser extent 2000 - the Democrats to lose. I think Obama would win a landslide against Romney or Giuliani (Huckabee would be the toughest opponent in my book for any Democrat).
