The "high negatives" and "electability" cards are real issues

Barack still has the best favorability/unfavorability ratings of the three front-runners:
CNN's latest has McCain 54-29 (+25), Obama 55-28 (+27), and HRC at 53-39 (+14).
Also, on "electabililty": Democrats think Hillary is more electable than Barack, 47-35 (6 for Edwards, 12 had no opinion). I suspect those numbers will continue to change after Edwards drops out and as the GOP machine cranks up on "Hillarycare" and &c.
