SPEECH BOUNCE PART II: Obama RISING, Clinton FALLING nationally and state-by-state

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

In PA, Obama has closed the gap to 10% on Clinton, up steadily over the Rasmussens the last three weeks.
Obama wins Orgeon easily vs. McCain; Clinton loses it.
In CT, Obama cruises over McCain; Clinton squeaks by.
NC is an Obama blow-out over Clinton, up dramatically from a one-point margin a week ago.
In CA, Obama outperforms Clinton vs. McCain in a GE head-to-head (proof the primary winner doesn't matter).
Only recent news from Mizzou is good for Clinton, showing her outperforming McCain in a head-to-head (and more proof that the primary winner doesn't matter).

Nationally:
NBC/WSJ has Obama trending up into a tie with Clinton, beating McCain in a GE head-to-head while Clinton loses to McCain in a GE head-to head. This poll also shows Clinton's politics spiking her negatives and dropping her positives, with minor changes in each for Obama.
Gallup has Obama up by a point nationally vs. Clinton.

All of which begs the question: if a some Democrats desert the party after a more progressive Obama secures the nomination, but he still has the voters to win the GE, which the hypothetical head-to-heads show, then isn't he still the better candidate?

Edited for UPDATE: New Gallups show Obama widening gap vs. Clinton, outperforming Clinton vs. McCain.

7. Exactly - Me too! I am done trying to "win" the HRC people - Focus on the future not the past!

Focus!!! I think Obama started to do that today! He was really going after McCain today in his speech when he said McCain would be the 3rd Bush term! Right on!

Here's to our nominee Barack Obama! So say I - lol - I know why he is the best person for the job and no one or nothing more can change my mind now!!
