Here's the takeaway from Super Tuesday. Obama's percentages outside the big cities:
- 80% ID
- 67% CO
- 72% KS
- 66% MN
- 61% ND
- 68% GA
- 74% AK
Obama's landslide outside the big city states says everything about who is more electable.
Clinton's nomination would be like putting square wheels on the Democratic Party bus.
Anti-Clinton free media for 18 years has had a serious negative impact on non-urban and rural populations. Regardless of facts and fairness, she's viewed as morally flawed by way too many people, including Democrats -- and that is generalized to the Democratic party.
Her negatives in these areas extend to state and local politics.
For many local and state Democratic elected officials, the prospect of Obama's positive coat tail impact excites us. The prospect of Clinton's square wheel dynamic depresses us. Implications for the Democratic Party and it's ability to advance progressive agendas at home as well as in DC are significant.
