If that's the best Obama can do, the Democrats should hope he loses the primary, because the mudslinging the Republicans are capable of doing will be shocking. I personally don't think Obama can beat McCain.

It's an interesting question really. I envision Obama winning the primary and enjoying a huge early lead in national polling numbers over McCain directly as a result of Bush Jr's unpopularity. Now as the Republican machine gets going negative they'll continually chip away at Obama's lead as they make Americans question the substance behind the "Change" rhetoric of Obama. Whether Obama eventually wins or not depends on his ability to prove himself of substance and whether or not the politicking by the Republicans is enough to overcome the hole they're in. That being said I'd still give Obama the nod to win in November. Americans as a whole are uneasy with the status quo and unless Obama gives them something to fear him taking office while campaigning, he'll cash in on that sentiment and become the next president.
