The latest Iowa poll that had Edwards and Obama tied for the top spot also polled matchups of potential nominees from each party. Here are the results of the hypothetical matchups...
Obama 42, McCain 39
Obama 43, Giuliani 38
Obama 43, Romney 28Edwards 42, McCain 39
Edwards 42, Giuliani 38
Edwards 41, Romney 29McCain 43, Clinton 37
McCain 43, Kerry 38
McCain 41, Gore 39Giuliani 39, Clinton 35
Giuliani 38, Kerry 34
Giuliani 36, Gore 34Vilsack 41, McCain 35
Vilsack 42, Giuliani 35
Vilsack 45, Romney 28Clinton 40, Romney 30
Kerry 33, Romney 30
Gore 34, Romney 28Summarizing these results: Obama, Edwards and Vilsack beat every Republican. Hillary loses to every Republican but Romney. Romney loses to every Democrat. McCain runs slightly better than Giuliani matching up against most of the Dem field.
This poll looks like Hillary Clinton's worst nightmare in that it clearly reinforces the biggest knock against her which is that she can't win the general election.

Interesting!
If the 2008 general election is a close race, electronic voting fraud will likely give the win to a Republican
Don't be seduced by favorable poll numbers unless you are:
#1 Prepared to fight for hand counted paper ballots
#2 Prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure that the Democratic nominee has at least 60 percent in the pre election polls.
A Democratic controlled Congress is likely to pass legislation requiring a paper trail.
