Listen up folks
You're going to hear a lot in the coming days about Clinton's arguments to the Super Delegates that she is the most electable candidate, and the only candidate who will be able to beat John McCain. It takes 270 electoral votes, state by state, to win the general election.

Below is evidence that proves Clinton IS the candidate who can beat John McCain. These are state by state polls from national polling firms that basically poll the respondants and say "In a Presidential General Election between McCain and Obama, who would you vote for?" and "In a Presidential General Election between McCain and Clinton, who would you vote for?"

I give you Exhibit A, the May 11th Pollwatcher from My Direct Democracy ( www.MyDD.com ):








and Exhibit B, the May 11th Electoral Map from Electoral Vote ( www.Electoral-Vote.com ):





Total: Clinton: 280 McCain: 258




Total: Obama: 254 McCain: 273 Ties: 11


The Key to Exhibit B





So are you interested in electing a Democrat with Hillary Clinton, or handing the election to John McCain by giving the nomination to Barack Obama? While posted for everyone, I really hope my Oregon friends are reading this.

ugh, THANKS YOU!

SUSA pushed a poll out today that among early voters it was 49 Obama - 48 Clinton.

Which hopefully means we have enough time to still convert the ones who are still making up their mind.

I wish Washington was all mail voting already. And a primary.

Keep up the good work. Sometimes I feel like you and I are the only ones saying these things.

Sometimes. I used to belong to the Clinton_2008.LiveJournal.Com community and I finally left sort of angry because they keep all their posts defaulted to 'friends only'. Compare that site to Obama_2008.LiveJournal.Com and you would never guess that there's a vibrant active community going on in there.

As I told them, you'll never be able to convince anyone on the other side of your point by keeping it closed, by not going out and spreading the Hillary gospel.

But they still said to keep it shut. At that point I had to split, they were doing a disservice to her campaign by keeping their forum closed.

*sigh*, and look at the mess we're in in the 4th quarter, down by 3 touchdowns, and 6 minutes to go.

It just means 3 hail mary's right?
