Better Candidates for What?

Reuters on the latest Zogby presidential poll:

"The last couple of weeks have taken a toll on Obama and in a general election match-up, on both Democrats," said pollster John Zogby…"It's not surprising to me that McCain's on top because there is disarray and confusion on the Democratic side," Zogby said.

But 2 weeks ago the Boston Globe’s guru Scott Lehigh assured us:

For all the fretting about divisiveness and for all the talk of attacks, the tougher fight we've seen in recent weeks has made both Obama and Clinton better candidates.

Maybe Scott was being Clintonian. Maybe he meant they are becoming better candidates for the Senate.
