Picking Off Swing Voters

One of the more interesting topics that I have read a few articles about in the past few weeks is the projected match-ups between McCain and Obama or McCain and Clinton. A couple of weeks ago, initial polls seemed to indicate that Obama had a higher chance of defeated McCain and that he was actually projected by some to beat Clinton in a head-to-head voters. A very new interesting article by the Washington Times article sheds new light on the issue. A full 23%, repeat 23% for dramatic effect, think Obama is the most likeable candidate. If a full quarter of Republicans support Obama as their top choice, that bodes very well for the Democrats to try to secure victory in 2008. While McCain has many likeable qualities for conservatives, there are also issues such as Immigration which will upset a number of conservatives, allowing Obama to have a chance to win the election if he win the primary.
