I've done a few of these matchup type diaries before... Clinton v Giuliani, etc... but now it seems Obama will win both NH and SC. From there, who knows...
Until last Friday I honestly thought Hillary had Super Tuesday in the bag; national and Super Tuesday state polls pre-Iowa just looked too good for her. But things changed fast: Obama might win this nomination after all if he wins the first 3 contests and is seen as rising up into Super Tuesday. Obama still faces an uphill fight, but it truly is beginning to look winnable for him, at least to this Democrat who has been leaning toward Hillary.
Meanwhile over on the GOP side, it's a very volatile situation but I agree with many here on DailyKos who foresee McCain as a "last man standing" victor by default.
So then... Obama v McCain. Let's start to think about this as a possible matchup. What are their respective assets and liabilities? Some thoughts of mine to get it started and I'd welcome your comments...
