No, Hillary Clinton shouldn't be winning

Sean Wilentz spun a fantasy in his Salon piece about Clinton's electability. In the real world, it's Barack Obama who's more electable.

    Look at the Results

    Clinton wins California by over 400,000 vtes and nets +36 delagates. California votes for democrats for president.

    Obama wuns Idaho, and Indiana and nets 66 delegates. Those states haven't voted for a democrat for president since LBJ.

    Who do you really think is the candidate of the states that weill actually vote democrat?

    Toss in the Virgin Islands, Guam, and "Democrats Abroad" and the numbers get bigger. When did Alaska vote for a democrat? Or Louisiana? Those were Obama wins.
