2. And only down 1 vs. McCain now
And Clinton is up to a 2 point deficit against McCain. Great news all the way around!

8. PA is the 5th largest voting state ...
so if PA is not included in BO's 10 point lead, in order to substatiate the poll, the 10th largest voting state(s) (whatever that is) would have to 20% in BO's favor or the 20th largest voting state(s) would have to be 40% in BO's favor ...

Is that what you expect me to believe ??? That PA, OH, FL, MA, CA, NY and the rest of the Clinton states do not represent the nation but the other smaller Obama states will be enough to put him in the WH ??

LOL

9. Obama does better than Hillary against McCain in almost all of those states.
Why should we pay attention to primary results over that? Especially when most of those primaries were months ago and the head-to-head polls against McCain are recent.

11. And do you think he will keep that small lead
when the MSM is playing "goddamn america" 24/7 or "black girls get raped while white girls give it u" or "I've never in my adult life been proud of my country?"

12. The MSM already had Wright's comments on an endless loop for 2 weeks....
...and Obama's numbers have barely moved at all... in fact, they're up.

Buh-bye Hillary.

16. sure thing ... that makes much more sense ...
BO can't beat HRC in PA but he can beat MC by a wider margin in PA than HRC would beat MC in PA ???

Sounds like you REALLY believe those polls.

17. Sure, I'll take new polls over old primary results anyday...
As long as the poll has been conducted enough times to let me track it.

It is your belief that people can't change their minds? That once they vote for someone, they will absolutely vote for that person again?

That's rather naive.

Those poor Edwards folks. I guess they're shut out from the general election now.

7. I like the closeness of the GE matchups. Who is a better, more energetic
younger, articulate, and likeable campaigner in the long, long tiring run between now and November. If this will be won on the campaign trail, I like our chances against McCain despite the MSM man-crush.
