So much for the "I won the big states" idiocy Hillary has been using as a rationale for her getting the nomination. ANY Democrat wins California, New York, etc.
Hillary claims that only she can put together a winning coalition. This despite the obvious fact that she now trails in every single meaningful metric.
Won half as many states as Obama.
700,000 votes behind in the popular vote.
Behind in pledged delegates.
Behind as of today in superdelegates.
Despite corporate and lobbyist support, far behind in fund raising.
Out organized.
Maybe I am just stupid, but I don't see ANY proof of her having the winning coalition in those facts.
"Maybe I am just stupid, but I don't see ANY proof of her having the winning coalition in those facts."
Not stupid, just naive. Blacks and elitist leftists (Obama's main supporters) will never vote for McCain. Hillary's main supporters are blue collar whites, who WILL consider voting for McCain. Basically, Hillary would keep a far higher percentage of Obama's voters than Obama will of hers. It is like the GOP in the 2002 California Governor's race. Richard Riordan would have buried Gray Davis, but Riordan couldn't get past the fringe majority that controlled the GOP Primaries. Obama is heading down the same track
Not so Jose. This is just another red herring put out by the Clinton team. The old Clinton arguments just don't hold sway any more. Obama increased his percentages against white voters in Indiana and continues to make gains in this category. I guess the Hillary supporters think they can threaten the DNC that they won't vote for Obama. It's a free country. Vote for whomever you want. Obama will win it without those votes --he has so many new votes from young folks and independents it won't matter. How are blue collar whites the critical vote? I doubt they'll be attending any big money fundraising dinners. It's ludicrous. Threaten away. Who cares? Did you see Harvey Weinstein threatened Pelosi? Who cares about that big fat tub of lard that steals other writer's work and puts his name on it anway.
"How are blue collar whites the critical vote?"
They are critical in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Ohio. Those will decide the election.
You have no idea which state will be the battleground that will decide the election. And you have no idea how the votes will fall after the general election gets underway. With the disaster Bush has made of our economy, with Al Quade stronger now than when he declared his "War of Terror", with Bush/McSame wanting to expand their failed Iraq strategy into Iran and Syria and Lebanon; I predict that McCain will loose in many states that have previously been solidly Republican.
