The issue of Hillary’s “electability” comes up pretty often. Interestingly, she beats the other GOP candidates in national polls. But, as Joe always says, you have to look at the state polls to truly get a sense of what’s happening (you can win the national vote but still lose the electoral vote, as we all know). Still, this is good news for the Clinton camp, and for all of us should Hillary be the nominee.

And actually, perhaps even more interesting, are the margins of Hillary’s victory. Thompson and Romney are GOP favorites, but in the national poll, Hillary trounces them the most. That suggests that the stranglehold that “conservatives” have over the GOP will be a detriment in national elections.
