I was channel surfing election coverage last Tuesday and popped in on Fox long enough to see Karl Rove whip out some brightly colored maps and pretty well prove to the world that Barack Obama is a FAR more intimidating candidate for the Democrats than Hillary "The Monster."
The video is 4-and-a-half minutes of time well spent:

Bottom line is that Obama adds clout on the West coast, in the Rocky Mountain region, and in the Upper Midwest -- while Clinton is an express train to Dukakisland for the Ds.
Remember that the match up this fall isn't a matter of who carries New York in a race between Obama and Clinton, but rather a matchup between the Democratic nominee and McCain. This doesn't seem to be even a slightly debatable matter, given Clinton's enormous (and growing) negatives...
