65. Count the electoral votes of those states
Then count what NJ, PA, OH, FL, MI, and MA have. You are relying on Obama running the table in the swing states. Sound familiar?

Obama has no shot in Deep South states and that theory has been debunked numerous times. It comes down to simple numbers. The Democratic primary electorate is hardly the general election electorate in those states. If it were Edwards may have won the South Carolina primary this time.

I have seen this "200% black turnout" theory many times. It is odd. It applies to only a few very rethug states (aside from LA). Women are the majority in all 50 states. If we apply that logic to women then Hillary can magically carry all 50 states if Obama can do so in four rethug states.

I applaud your optimism but we can't run an election with rose-colored glasses. As of right now we are in for a tough fight against msm darling McCain.
