The National Journal presents a Congressional Insiders Poll which asks “Which Democratic presidential candidate would do better against John McCain in November?” Among Democrats, Obama leads 54% to 41%. This is the number which is more significant in analyzing a Democratic nomination battle, but the results from Republicans might be more interesting. Clinton beats Obama 53% to 45%. This isn’t really very surprising. The Republicans see the strongest candidate as the one who most represents their values and uses their tactics.
