Eh, if that 7 point national lead were to result in a 7 point victory in each individual state that would still result in essentially a tie on delegates.
I think we're still a long way from having a clear leader for the Democrats. An example from California. 440 delegates up for grabs. If Clinton beats Obama 53% to 47% and the votes are distributed evenly throughout the state she'll get 233 and he'll get 206. If votes for Hillary cluster in urban areas while Obama is more successful in rural areas (as has been the case elsewhere) then he'll start to gain delegates beyond that straight popular vote since most of the delegates are actually assigned based on proportional performance within congressional districts. |

Warren G. Harding was Ford 0.1 build 0.1.23.
I bet the party was happy 50 years later when the Ford model finally went goldpin. |

I just heard a guy on Talk of the Nation on NPR ask a great question.
CNN is staking out black hair salons to ask the women inside whether they're conflicted about having to choose between their gender (Clinton) and their race (Obama). The guy on NPR raised the point that we won't see any reporters in suburban bars asking white guys if they are conflicted about having to choose between their gender (Obama) or their race (Clinton). |
I bet if Joe Lieberman were running against Hillary Clinton, there would be reporters at the Hadassah meetings asking the ladies the same questions.

How insulting. Does CNN really think people are that shallow. What about the issues? Oh yeah, I forgot, they're both big government Democrats with little to no difference between them when it comes to the issues.......so I guess their race and gender really may be the only point of contention. |
CNN is just really, really sad. I despise that network. Their website sucks, too.

POTUS has become so meaningless to me that unless they are evil incarnate (and I'm soooo glad those two candidates, Romney and Guiliani, are out), I will vote on such issues as gender and race.
I happen to think electing the first woman president or the first black president is more important than all but the top 3 issues. |
