Hillary wins the White House on Swing States, Obama loses.
GALLUP

May 28, 2008

"Clinton's 2008 swing-state victories include Nevada, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Arkansas, and -- based solely on popular vote (not delegates) -- Florida and Michigan (her swing states total 105 electoral votes). Thus far in May, Gallup has found Clinton leading McCain in these states by six percentage points, 49% to 43%. McCain holds the slight edge over Obama in these states, 46% to 43%. Thus, as of today, Clinton is clearly the stronger Democratic candidate in this cluster of states where she beat Obama in the popular vote."

1. Polls 6 months ago had Hillary Clinton in the lead in many states by 30%
Funny how a poll that's 6 months old is pretty meaningless. I thought you would have figured that out by now.

4. Hillary has not been attacked in quite some time.....
and if she were to be, she'd lose.

Plus the fact that quite a few voters wouldn't be voting.


again, she loses.....sorry for you.

5. News flash - no one is actively campaigning against Hillary any more
Poll numbers go up when no one is campaigning against you... very common in elections.

7. Any one on one poll means nothing while it is an undecided match up.

20. Unfortunately for you and your fantasy baseball league, Hillary's not going to be the nominee.
Perhaps the thing to do is to start figuring out how to support the person who IS going to be the nominee.

21. Hillary Clinton will never fucking win NH. Never.
Never. Never. NH will NEVER vote for someone who wants to shove a mandate down our throat. PLUS 44% Indies. Game over. She cant win NH. Period.
