Many Democrats might believe that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would be the dream ticket in November.
But at least in New York state, a must-win state for Democrats, the real dream team would be Republicans John McCain and Condoleezza Rice, according to a new poll.
The NBC/Marist College survey of Empire State voters says that the GOP team would beat a Clinton-Obama ticket 49 percent to 46 percent and a ticket with Obama on top by 49 percent to 44 percent. A quarter of Democrats in Clinton’s home state would break ranks and vote for McCain and Rice, the survey says.
