You folks are FINALLY getting it! Hillary is the stronger candidate against John Mccain this Fall. That is why we voted for her and that is why we continue to support her.
Despite the negative image the media has been portraying. We all know and believe Hillary is the best candidate.
Today’s gallup polls 5.28 clearly state this again

One major thing to consider re those fence sitters. Will they want a right wing Supreme Court or one that keeps Roe vs. Wade, etc I think when push comes to shove they will realize that they can’t afford having a right wing president make the next 1 – 3 Supreme Court appointments.

The Rove map says Clinton is leading with 259 electoral votes, however when you add up the individual states on the map, she gets 274. According to the map, Hillary is already over the top.

Obama’s supporters assume if you’re not in the tank for their guy, it’s because of some latent racist motivation. His race is not the problem. It’s his lack of a record. I’m interested in some demonstrated competence in actually governing. Is that too much to ask? Obama speaks of a “post partisan” and “post racial” future. What’s that mean? Has Obama been a hardworking senator willing to take risks and give others credit to get things accomplished? No. Has he been working on projects and proposals to bridge the racial divide in this country? No. Has he done anything with his time in office other than run for President? No. Those are the reasons I will never support Obama for President. Not because I’m a racist, not because I’m a Republican (I’ve never cast a vote in my life for anyone with an (R) next to their name), and not because I’m just a bitter Hillary supporter. I’m only interested in competence and Obama can’t demonstrate he’s able to competently run the federal government.

Obama has a huge electoral problem, and anyone that thinks he is going to win Virginia (much less NC or Indiana) is nuts. McCain will sweep the south without even trying- not having to bother campaigning in Florida will allow him to concentrate on places like Ohio and Nevada, as well as try to pick off Wisconsin and NM. Obama HAS to play defense in those places (particuarly the West) and then HAS to either sweep them or take Ohio (which McCain has a nice lead in). If Obama takes the advice i see here and tries to go on the offensive by winning in the South, McCain is going to win in a walkover.

Northern Observer said: PS US Vet: counties with military bases have voted overwhelmingly for Obama. I think yer out of step with your fellow vets.
You do realize that most military people vote absentee ballots from their home state, not the state they are based in.

this country has never had a black president and i believe this scares people, for only a white person has ever set in the white house. what gives white people the right to make decisions for the entire world, as if they are the only ones with any sense. when will everyones vote truly count. why all of the negative remarks about Senator Obama, this man has layed his life on the line for americans just by running for the presidency, why cant white america give him the benefit of the doubt, i believe he would make a great leader. what would surely guarantee the democrats the white house would be Obama/Clinton ticket. They both have had record breaking turnout to vote in these primaries.a lot of people say it wouldnt work,but i say if they truly love america and its people they would make it work

*Connecticut* a swing state? CT’s gonna go for Obama OR CLinton by at least 10. Same with NH, particularly w/ Jean Shaheen campaigining. Iowa’s also going blue, as is New Mexico w/ the Hispanic vote and Richardson campaigning for either candidate. And anyone claiming McCain is going to win Wisconsin is just ridiculous.
But hey, if the Republicans are stupid enough to listen to the guy who lost them 30 House seats and 6 Senate seats, I won’t argue with that.

Anybody who looks at this( legitimate) data, notices what many of us have intuitively sensed, that as the racial and gender-based polarization of this race has heightened, Appalachian and Rust Belt whites have run from Obama, probably because of the patriotism/Wright questions, and older white women have continued to flock to Hillary, because she’s an older white woman whith a legitimate shot at the presidency; note the difference in anti-Obama versus pro-Hillary motivations. The reason her numbers have shot up in Florida and Ohio is that those two aforementioned groups of voters who have shifted, who were previously 1) mostly McCain supporters (whites) or 2) mostly undecided (women) since March are now saying that they’ll vote for Hillary in November, but will continue to be undecided or for McCain if it’s McCain vs. Obama. The question I have is, how many of those whitesd who were previously McCain supporters but are now “pro-Hillary” will go back to McCain if Hillary were to win the nomination? If that were to happen, say goodbye to Ohio and West Virginia, Hillary supporters. And she never had a chance in Colorado or North Dakota or Virginia or Iowa, so she doesn’t have anything to fall back on if she loses Ohio or Michigan, unlike Obama.
