WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In recent months, ABC News-Washington Post polls showed Sen. Hillary Clinton running 40 points higher than Sen. Barack Obama among blacks voters asked to name their preference in the Democratic primary.

But in Wednesday editions, the Washington Post reported a poll that has Obama leading Clinton by 11 points among black voters -- 44 percent to 33 percent. Obama is the Senate's only black member and has been campaigning across the country for the last couple of months. Clinton is his chief rival for the 2008 presidential nomination

That change represents a stunning 24-point swing, but does it mean the black community has embraced the Illinois Democrat as its candidate?

For the republican nomination Rudy Guliani is to liberal (pro-choice, increased gun regulation, pro-civil unions) to win the republican nomination. Mitt Romney has no name recognition. I believe McCain will win the republican nomination.

In 2008, it will be Hillary Clinton vs. John McCain.

McCain is struggling. He may ramp it up as questions about Rudy arise. Mitt Romney doesn't have much name recognition. He's polling at about 10% to Rudy in the mid 30's, but there is a year to go before primaries start. By this summer I fully expect Romney to be neck and neck with the other 2. He's the best speaker, has a lot of party support, and can bring in the cash.

Hillary likely will win the nomination. Edwards would be a better choice if someone really got a hold of him and taught him how to win elections. Obama may end up on the ticket, but I don't think it matters. Without a major gaff by whoever the GOP candidate is, Hillary won't win.
