but I really agree with Matt here.

As I told Taylor in person (!) before the primaries had even started, there’s too much irrational HC hatred out there. Obama stands a way better chance in the general.

CW says HC has a “lower ceiling, and higher floor,” general election-wise.

In a year which any sentient being notes is a “change election,” wouldn’t you try to take the higher ceiling?
