 Experts Debunk Clinton's Electoral Vote Idea
By Justin EwersWith the Democratic presidential race stalemated and the superdelegates holding their collective breath, waiting for someone to pull decisively into the lead, many political spam are casting their gazes to the general election, trying to determine who would do better against John McCain—Hillary Clinton, with her name recognition and experience, or Barack Obama, with his charisma and appeal to independents?
