Obama is winning states like Alaska that a Dem can never win - and doesn't even need to win in the General Election. Many are states that hardly have a Democratic party.
Meanwhile, Hillary is taking solid states a Democrat MUST take to win the White House, like California, New York, Florida, Michigan.
Democratic primary voters are almost three times as likely to be college grads as the national average. Their support for candidates like Obama doesn't translate into big numbers in November. This phenomenon has repeatedly led the Dems to defeat.
The Democratic primary and caucus vote is skewed to a liberal elite that doesn't reflect the attitudes of the man in the street. This is a recipe for a Republican landslide. That's our real-world dilemma, and historically, the Dems have failed the test far too often.
Not only that, but even if OB could beat McCain, you would get a crypto-Repuglican. Eight years ago we also had a puppet running for president on empty phrases like a humble foreign policy, compassionate conservatism, no foreign wars - and he did exactly the opposite.
So you have to look at the candidate's advisers, like Obama's Brzezinski and Liebman. That's where you get his right-wing policies both on foreign policy (Bomb Bomb Pakistan, March on Moscow) and social policy (no foreclosure freeze, privatize social security).
Still, the worst thing is that Obama can't win the presidency. He'll be another McGovern or Mondale. A vote for Obama is a vote for McCain-Lieberman: bomb bomb Iran.
The Clintons were certainly not my first choice, but at least they have a bit more background to stand on their own and represent us rather than be complete puppets of the ruling elite. Perhaps we may see a Clinton-Edwards ticket.
The average citizen knows we had it a lot better under Bill than under Bush, never mind the right-wing propaganda. People want to get back to where we were before Bush.
Hillary will landslide McCain, but McCain will landslide Obama. And 8 more years of fascist rule will mudslide the USA.
