Obama Was the Correct Choice for Nominee.

[Frank Booth]

Electoral Vote has an updated map up, showing once again that Obama is the better general election candidate. It's a good thing he'll be the nominee.


Here's the map.




Blue: Both beat McCain ≥ 5%
Red: McCain beats both ≥ 5%
Brown: Obama > Clinton by ≥ 5%
White in Brown: Obama > Clinton by < 5%
White in Pink: Clinton > Obama by < 5%
Pink: Clinton > Obama by ≥ 5%

Clinton does better than Obama in 6 states totalling 92 electoral votes.
Obama does better than Clinton in 15 states totalling 164 electoral votes.

7. what meaningless polls?

[MNDemNY]

10. Any GE head-to-head match up polls, are , at this point less than meaningless.

[JasonHill]

14. I agree

but seeing that that is the only argument Hillary has in her attempt to destroy the liberal wing of the party in order to secure the nomination, she fails even at that (at least according to this).

[Lucky 13]

17. You might want to inform the Clinton campaign and supporters about that.

All I hear is poll garbage from them round the clock.

4. NJ's the pleasant surprise there for me.

5. This is a misrepresentation of the data.

Clinton 291 McCain 237 Ties 10



Obama 243 McCain 269 Ties 26



When you put them on top of each other, you don't realize that the brown states and the pink states are sometimes both blue states.

6. Should I point out that I followed this site closely in 2004?

And that it was TOTALLY WRONG?

[stevenleser]

8. No it wasnt. I followed it as well and it was spot on.

[Stand and Fight]

11. Then why didn't John Kerry win if it was so spot-on?

[Stand and Fight]

16. He did....

No, he did not. Nothing has ever been proven in Ohio and he also lost Florida.
