It's amazing how inconsistent the point spreads among states |

Just an obeservation.
One would think that in a race as tight as this one is, that the difference in percentages among states would be somewhat consistent, even when one candidate wins or loses.
But (with such obvious exceptions as New York and Illinois and Arkansas) it seems that the gap between Obama and Clinton is very irregular. Obama's victories are lopsides, as are Clinton's.
I'm sure there are good explanations according to political science. But it is hard for a layman to figger how the differences among states (including those one assumes would have similar demographics) could be so varied.

1. Also, one really does need to look at how each state's Democratic voters will play in the GE |
|
Because some of them won't be much of a factor at all, while others will be huge.
