2. I've read articles in newspapers that some Republicans are considering Obama over McCain

Strange they wouldn't pick Clinton, but not all Republicans are bad either.

Time for the general election squabbling to take place...

11. Hello -- it's "TOO CLOSE TO CALL" ... meaning no blow-out

If he loses Indiana, it won't be by a SUBSTANTIAL margin.

And urban areas are the last to come in, meaning the returns
we're seeing from Indiana DON'T include where he's strongest.

only two less than Michigan, for instance.

12. Indiana is still in play

the more votes that are reported, the closer the race. now Hilary 57- Obama 43. Initial results were lower. Some Marion county (Indy) coming in now. That's heavily Obama territory.

23. I live in VA and it will be VERY difficult to beat him. Look at the history of

how both states have voted in the past 30 years. I am not saying it's impossible, but it will be very difficult.

20. Not sure about that

McCain angered a lot of repukes in this state when he came out against the Obama ad that was ran here by the state GOP. Plus, polls are showing Senator Obama with a slight lead over McCain right now here.

21. Kerry lost NC by about 14 points in 2004...Gore lost in 2000 by about the same...

...a win's a win for BO, but no way are the Dems gonna take it in November no matter who's the nominee.

"North Carolina hasn�t voted to put a Democrat in the White House since Jimmy Carter�s 1976 defeat of Gerald Ford. Bill Clinton came within one percentage point of carrying the state in 1992.

�I�d be surprised if there�s anything that could really put North Carolina into swing state status� It�s a reliable Republican state,� says John Dinan, who teaches political science at Wake Forest University. �The Democrats are going to focus on winnable states long before they turn to North Carolina.�

31. They already were on NPR. Downtalking Obama and drooling about what momentum Hillary

has. Blathering about how "ohhh Obama doesn't get the white working-class vote!" - BUT never mentioning that Hillary can't get 70-80% of the black vote - those have consistently gone to Obama. (black votes don't count, ONLY black pastors do - at least in the US of Arse and to Republicans like Hillary and their media mouthpieces).

They went on and on glowingly about Hillary and when mentioning Obama at ALL it was:

negative
Obama can't get white working class votes
he's BEHIND - Hillary has momentum (?)
