4. You're confusing winning with the "supermajority"
Two different things.

11. No I'm not
I referring to the fact that in order to win the nomination, Obama needs 2025 delegates. Mathematically, he cannot get to that number any more than Hillary can.

7. Maybe I should rephrase: Hillary can't beat Obama in pledged delegates
Better?

16. Maybe he can if we see her taxes
We get to see who is giving them money. It is possible. What are they hiding? The clintons set the standard of demanding Lazio release his when she ran agains him.

Or will switch?

Unless you disregard say, 95% of polls.

17. and a reminder that Obama cannot win the General election..
The vast majority of his wins were anomalies. Caucuses are notorious for not being reflective of the general population.

Areas that were reflective of the general population almost always elected Hillary by a comfortable margin. His most ardent supporters tend to be the least reliable voters, while the base supporters are in Hillarys camp.

There is no reason to believe that removing Hillary from the equation will give the votes to Obama. Remove Obama, we keep the base..remove Hillary-we lose to McCain.

22. I don't need a poll..I have real numbers..
and if you have been paying attention, you know the numbers too. Obama carries the youth, the blacks, and the Dems who earn over $100,000.00. Both the youth vote and the black vote are historically unreliable, and the affluent Dems are small in number. Obama is picking up Independents now, but Independents are unreliable as well. The largest section of the Democratic wing of the Democratic party supports Hillary and loves the Clintons. It is proven in the vote results.

Go with Obama and we lose the General election. I'd bet everything I own on it and not lose one minutes sleep.

21. Wrong
The only person most Conservative Republicans hate more than John McCain is Hillary Clinton. Well, OK, Bill tops the list.

Nominating Hillary will ignite the Republican base in a way that McCain never, ever will. And she will split moderates and Indies with McCain, unlike Obama who has owned them.
