Wait, what?  At least in the debates, Republican candidates dump on
Hillary far more than Obama.  They've been assuming all along that she
has a lock on the nomination, just like the DNC and the media.

Polls indicate he'd beat each of the Republican candidates by a larger
margin than Hillary would.

The good news is that every poll (except for those by Faux News, of
course) shows the Dems winning regardless of who gets nominated on
_either_ side due to simple demographics.
