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 ):

Total: Clinton: 280 McCain: 258
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.
