Duh

According to Time:
Sen. Barack Obama would fare slightly better than Sen. Hillary Clinton in a head to head match-up with Sen. John McCain if the general election were held today, a new TIME poll reveals.
Actually, it's more than slightly better: Obama beats McCain 46 percent to 41, McCain and Clinton tie at 46. And many other polls have shown the same thing recently.

The Time story goes on:
The difference, says Mark Schulman, CEO of Abt SRBI, which conducted the poll for TIME, is that "independents tilt toward McCain when he is matched up against Clinton But they tilt toward Obama when he is matched up against the Illinois Senator." Independents, added Schulman, "are a key battleground."

What worries me is that Republicans tend to fall in line, and Dems fall in love.
