Clinton or Obama?

A few of you may have noticed that we’ve added a small polling widget on the right side-bar of this blog. This, of course, is all highly “un-scientific” and doesn’t really mean much, but can provide some interesting results. The current poll asks who you would prefer as the Democratic candidate for the general elections in November - Omaba or Clinton. The results, so far, show Clinton ahead of Obama by about 58% to 42%. This is in contraction with the nationwide polls right now.

I’m curious to know a little bit more. Why would you prefer the one over the other?

1. Are you a Republican and think that the candidate you chose would lose the General Election to McCain?
2. Are you a Republican and think that if a Democrat is going to be elected, you would prefer the one over the other?
3. Are you a Democrat and favor the one candidate over the other?
4. Are you a Democrat and just think the one has a better chance of winning a General Election over the other?
