10. What basis do you have for your opinion "Obama ...simply won't have a chance in the GE"?
Or that he is "weaker than Edwards"?

Because according to the recently released ABC News/Washington Post poll, Obama doubled Clinton's support among Independent voters
(Obama 35% to Clinton 18%)-- another indicator that he will be the strongest candidate going into the general election:

For more on Obama's general election strength, check out this recent poll, which shows Obama leading among Iowa voters when matched up to
Republican opponents. Obama easily beats all of his Republican opponents (with 50% or more against each of them), while Clinton's margin is
significantly slimmer against Giuliani, Romney, and Huckabee, and she even loses to McCain:
