    Primaries

    It's interesting to note that if you take away the delegates from the states who don't back democrats for president you end p with Barack haveing a 50 delagate lead and 1,000 more votes.

    Barack has won such republican statas as Utah, Louisiana, Wyoming and Alaska. When did a democrat win those states?

    I went back to Kennedy and found tha many of the states Barack won haven'[t voted for a democrat for presideny sisnce Johnson. He ran against Barry Goldwater and we know how well Barry did.
