Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
"There are milliions of Hillary rooters who would sigh, but turm to Obama long before they'd vote for McCain. THe reverse camp is much, much smaller."

Lop sided or not it is simple common sense.

Hillary's base is the Democratic base and much of her success comes from having state and local political machines behind her. Die hard Democrats will support Obama.

Obama is appealing to the Democratic base but he is also picking up new voters, independents and Republicans. A lot of those people will not be voting for Hillary.

Obama puts a lot of red states and swing states into play that Hillary does not.

Look at the "anti-establishment" voters. McCain is much more and outsider than Hillary, Obama is more of an outsider than McCain.
