I strongly disagree that Obama would be easier to beat than Hillary - in fact even the GOP pundits are speaking to their fear of an Obama candiacy, because he would extremely difficult to beat.
Obama would be easier to beat because he has more negatives that would get the republican party base out to vote in droves. You really think that if Obama was that difficult to beat republican pundits would be praising him to high hells rather than tearing him to shreads? At the end of the day each party wants the other to nominate a weak candidate and IMO Obama is the weaker candidate on the democratic side. Obama can one day in the future make a good president but my fear is that he will get nominated this election and loose it and will not get another shot.
