Subject: RE: BS: On the Democratic Primary Campaigns
For all you scorekeepers and numbers people, here's today's numbers from the Washington Post:
By The Associated Press The Associated Press Friday, January 25, 2008; 1:06 AM
-- THE RACE: The Democratic and Republican presidential primaries in California
___
THE NUMBERS _ DEMOCRATS
Hillary Rodham Clinton, 43 percent
Barack Obama, 28 percent
John Edwards, 11 percent
Dennis Kucinich, 5 percent
Undecided, 11 percent
___
It doesn't matter what Obama does in SC. SC is a Republican state. What matters is, what can Obama do in NY and CA? What can Obama do in his home state? What can Obama do on McCain's turf in AZ?
Answer?
Lose to Clinton, because Obama can't compete with the women's vote, the neo-libs, the Bubba vote, or the Hispanic vote. The Clinton machine has had those constituencies sewn up for months. She will definitely lose some support in all those groups to Obama in the next couple weeks. But it's gonna be all over on Super Tuesday, but the mop up of Obama delegates.
