Ard., you closed the general election thread on Obama vs McCain (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=556516) and redirected it to an unrelated thread.

Can we please have it opened up again?

Sorry, Daistallia, but no. If I were going to reopen any, it'd be the one Barringtonia started last week (it didn't seem to cop as much spam as yours).

I'm not going to open (or leave open) a McCain vs anybody thread yet. If you want to argue that Clinton would do better against McCain than Obama, or Obama would do better against McCain than Clinton, do it in the Democrat nomination thread.

If you want to compare McCain's stance on specific issues to Obama's or Clinton's, do it in the Issues thread. Likewise their ad campaigns vs his. Use that thread as a catchall, please, and I'll prune it when it gets unwieldy.

The US pundits seem to be suggesting that Clinton may make some announcement on her candidacy by the end of May. If so, go for it. Otherwise, wait for the two-horse race.
