Let me point out that Hillary is now behind by 159 pledged delagates and fading fast in Ohio and Texas. This means that she will not catch Obama in the pledged deleagate count. Therefore, the only way she gets the nomination is by overturning the will of the majority through super delegates.
This will not be looked upon by the American people in a favorable light.
Thus to those that say, "Hillary may be getting her ass handed to her by McCain now, but she will improve over time", I think it is more likely that she will weaken over time.
That is why these polls are important, to see whether or not Clinton truely is the next Walter Mondale. If that is the case in 3 months, the Super Delegates would be guilty of political negligence to allow her to be the nominee.
Remember a John McCain victory gurantees hundreds of billions more spent in Iraq and hundreds if not thousands of dead US soldiers.
Lives are literally on the line. It is for the sake of those soldiers McCain plans on sacrificing to this war that he must be defeated at all cost.
If all the polls over the next 3 months show her to be the weaker candidate and likely to lose, then it would be immoral for her to become the nominee.
Unless she thinks the ego stroking act of running a 2 month national campaign is worth all those lives.
