Obama is doing extremely well in the primaries but that doesn't mean that voters are ready for Obama (the change that he claims to stand for) and that election day will come out in his favor.

That didn't take me to anywhere that backs up what you're saying. Unless you're just referencing the Clinton quits thing.
Anyway, I disagree, Obama is beating McCain in the polls now, Nader will likely be less significant than he was in 2004 and definitely won't be the factor he was in 2000. Obama does well with the independents that McCain also attracts (and even has Republicans voting
for him not just against Clinton). And the man isn't just Teflon he's Kevlar thus far. He's also mobilizing the "youth vote" in a way that actually gets them to come to the voting booth not just talk on the internet. He's got a lot going for him, and, though it's possible, I don't think McCain will pull it out.
I also get the feeling that some hard core conservatives are giving up on this election cycle. I saw an article talking about how it'd be good if a Democrat won, because then the GOP would come back even stronger. That might change between now and November, but it's out there nonetheless.
