The polls are likely not to be accurate yet about who will win the nomination and presidency. No prediction about who will win will be relevant until the Democratic nominee is chosen. The skill and strength of the nominee will be critical. The Democrats often blow this, because liberals like us think the country wants what we want: someone who is smart and has the right policies. That's not enough. Americans need to be impressed that the candidate is a strong leader. Skill in connecting with the voters is needed, at the heart and gut levels as well as the head level. That is the pattern I see in looking at who wins and loses presidential elections in the USA.
