Would Obama win...

[star seed 7]

If he was still eligible to run this election?

[CNS]

yes.  There is no candidate out there now that could overcome an incumbent, imo.

Ok, let's say it's 08 Obama then, not an incumbent

Still yes. The Obama coalition is an even a bigger % of the population that it was in '08.

The people that voted for Obama in 08 are a bigger percentage of the population today than they were in 08, making it more likely he would win.

obama would win, clinton would win, bush would win (not this clinton and bush, the old ones). this field is, like, crappy.

[Institutional Control]

An '08 John McCain would wipe the floor with this field.

I agree with both of these statements.

[Institutional Control]

I would vote for McCain, provided he didn't have an idiot like Sarah Palin as his VP.

[chuckjames]

I would vote for Rubio over McCain, i think he is a very good politician, and will win the general easily if the GOP is smart enough to nominate him.

[michigancat]

08 McCain = Hillary

[MakeItRain]

08 McCain = Hillary

Yep
