Spare votes?
He bowled gutter balls at the rec center, but Obama is picking up points with blue-collar voters in Pennsylvania.
By Walter Shapiro [2008-04-11]

  • This must be the who can lose by less primaries

    "When you attest that Obama cannot win because of the electoral map, you are wrong. I actually don't know where you get this from."

    Current polling, which for many states is old, as in almost ancient in political terms, McCain is beating Obama by 7 electoral votes and Clinton by 8 electoral votes.

    This is supposed to be the compelling argument for either candidate - "I can lose by less"?

    There are five possibilities for the Democratic party:

    Dems lose if:

    ~ Clinton supporters refuse to support Obama if nominated.

    ~ Obama supporters refuse to support Clinton if nominated.

    ~ RNC thru marketing magic is able to sell either candidate as a wishy-washy, atheist supporting, gay supporting, anti_Christmas, liberal extremist.

    Dems maybe win if:

    ~ Obama and Clinton supporters fully support whichever candidate is nominated.

    Dems Win if:

    ~ Republican voters do not come out in support of McCain.

    I do not know where the Democratic arrogance comes from.
