Clinton would be a good president I think but I believe she would be divisive and be unable to unite the country properly.
The supporters of Barack Obama are widely varied, great in number, and very passionate. 8% of the voters in the democratic primary in Virginia last night were republicans. 72% of those republicans who voted in the Virgina democratic primary supported Obam. Interesting statistic.
I just don't see how McCain would have any hope of defeating Obama in a general election. McCain is pro war and Obama draws significant voters from all segments of the population. That's the end of the discussion.

I'm not going to debate whether he beats McCain or not, but rather why he's the President the US needs to get them back on their feet? Going beyond his speeches and campaign of hope, what has he accomplished in Public life that would indicate he's the right president for the job?
