2. I wonder what her attitude about Oklahoma is
She won that one too. Does it not "matter"? I can't see that state voting for either one of them in November.

9. What a lame post!
He can get MORE VOTES than Hillary in Red states and that IS important. PLUS lets be honest here he will win every state KERRY won and have a chance at COlorado, New Mexico, NEVADA and IOWA and thats the win right there. he is the one candidate that can get his popular vote margin up, and that matters for 1) coattails in red states and 2) perception of election (a narrow electoral margain but huge popular vote win). I cannot believe you poo-poo that. Whatever though I guess you are convinced that OBAMA is not going to win the big states or something. NEITHER dem will win FLORIDA OR TEXAS and OHIO is a tossup no matter who. OBAMA is the best chance to win and even more so he is the only person with a chance to get the popular vote margain up.

4. Don't you know red states matter when Hillary wins them?
It shows she's capable of unifying. Those Obama red states are just because of silly rubes and hateful sexist liberal activists. :sarcasm:

5. We have had Democratic governors and Senators
and we have strong blue areas, particularly since 2006. Clinton carried Southern Indiana in 1996, and almost won the state.

10. That arguement would matter if you could say OBAMA cant win them
I know you arent saying he will lose NY or California and lets look at the Battleground states. They are New Mexico, IOWA, colorado and nevada. They split them. OHIO is a battleground no matter what (CLINTON or OBAMA) so for me it comes down to who can win those states and OBAMA has a better chance of winning them all (because of the younger demographic and increased black turnout). If you are going to talk about Florida forget it neither DEM will win that. The Big DOG only won it once and that was with PEROT getting 9%(which wont happen this time). Forget the dreams Its these five states, New Mexico, IOWA, COLORADO, nevada and OHIO.

Signed,
