Statistics of the 2008 Democratic Election
See the following link:

http://www.diversityj.com/Statistics2008Primary.html

This info was taken directly from all the various Secretary of State Websites.

You can see from examining the data that Hillary won both the blue and the swing states while Obama won the red states and the caucuses . Hillary also has the popular vote.

So, even though Blacks, independents and younger people may support him, how is Obama going to win in November? The Red states will go to McCain! Also many Hillary supporters may not vote at all because they are unhappy with the way she has been treated.

2. Fail.
No such thing as popular vote in the primary.

Obama will win by getting more votes than McCain.

3. I stopped at "Hillary has the popular vote." I call bullshit.

4. Given that that site is run by a hillaryis44 regular, I'd think source critique was a given.

6. GE campaign has not started, Clinton supporters haven't had a chance to calm down yet,
and Obama is already ahead of McCain. He'll do fine. And the country will do great. http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/
