3. yeppers and the answer is yes. Misissippi and North Carolina.
largely becuase Obama will see black voters in droves and Hillary will see what we have typically seen.

5. I really don't think she has a shot in the south
Of course, I am holding out for my Edwards/Obama Obama/Edwards dream team.

4. Virginia and North Carolina have a LOT of black voters that will come out in droves
I think Virginia especially is most likely to tip. Obama has the support of Kaine and Wilder to boot.

6. Hillary has NO appeal to most of middle america.

There's something about her that people in the midwest don't like. Her Iowa loss didn't surprise me in the least.

As another person commented, Obama will benefit from increasing black voter turn out. There are many states Obama will win or safely win more so than Hillary. Michigan will be safe. A couple Southern states will be in play. Obama will do better in Ohio too.

7. What you should be asking is how Obama can possibly win a single red state from John McCain
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 12:20 PM by mtnsnake
when the all important experience factor will play right into the repukes hands. End of story.

8. do you realize
that the Hannity/Drudge/Rush crowd completely hates McCain? The establishment-wing of the GOP would talk McCain over Huckabee but
the crowd that gets their instruction from talk-radio is likely to sit at home if McCain gets the nomination.

9. Right and moreso
We lose southern states by about 57% to 435 A disnchenchented GOP with either Huckbee or McCain at the head of the ticket and a huge Black turnout with an icreas of 25% put states in play.

10. Wisconsin I think Obama would be a stronger candidate than Clinton
remember Kerry won WI only narrowly in '04 so it isn't an automatic Dem Blue State.
