Give me a break please. When was the last time a Democrat took either Ohio or Florida?

Don't you love the way they 'cherry pick' in these polls? This is only relevent if only OH & FL voted - but they seemed to have forgotten the other 48 states actually vote too. So they picked two states with a larger older population. You can't pick winners based solely on past results otherwise we'd all have millions in our 401Ks - a much larger percentage of 'young' voters will be out in force this year if Obama is the nominee.

Repblican economic policies don't work for real americans.

Obama.s math and logic is right on the money. For the last 3 general elections less than 60% of the electorate voted.

Is he manages to increase that total by 2 percentage points he can change the electoral map dramatically.

The 20% of democrats who will chose to vote for McCain better understand this, whatever you do is your right. However the genie is out the bottle, aint no stopping us now.

We the new demographics (age) will be voting in our millions.

The geriatric candidate is going down.!!!!!

Of course one could make the argument that no Democrat can win the White House without a significant portion of the black vote, but then again black votes don't matter.

As if Florida and Ohio are the only 2 states that matter.

I've always maintained that Democrats tolerate blacks because they can only go so far in the party and that their votes actually make a difference.

As soon as that vote becomes dispensable, look out!! Blacks will be worse off than during slavery.

Those 1 in 5 Democrats would not support a Black Candidate for President if their lives depended on it.

They will be comfortable with any white candidate even one that is opposed to everything they believe.

Still not enough for HIlary Clinton because they are many other swing states that Obama does better in and Florida I wouldnt count because Obama never campaigned there. Polls have shown that Obama does better matched up with McCain than she does. This merely may be a reason to consider putting her on the ticket as far as her getting the nomination NOT. Although I'm sure she is going spin it until she is dizzy.

Sometimes Honor Is Wrong -- The Problem With John McCain

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/frank-schaeffer/sometimes-honor-is-wrong-_b_94524.html

The next president will inherit the mess George W. Bush created with a big assist from Senators McCain and Hilary Clinton, and from other members of congress. If we are to get out of the mess they made we need good judgment and a ruthless disregard for any concern other than for the good of the American people.

Above all we need a completely fresh start. And of the three presidential candidates only Senator Obama can provide that.

Only Obama showed good judgment on this matter. McCain's and Clinton's future decisions will inevitably be clouded by the need for self-justification for mistakes they have yet to admit.

And, unlike Obama, they are in no position to restore faith in America by the rest of the world.

McCain has taken his lack of good judgment about Iraq to the next level. He has joined himself at the hip to the Bush disaster by demanding a "win." While we may empathize with our soldiers, who have given so much and who may grimly want to be vindicated when it comes to "sticking it out" and wanting to "win" what we can't do is elect a president whose idea of honor guarantees more wasted sacrifice.

Sorry, I thought Obama would be running against McCain or that Hillary would be running against McCain?

Is Hillary planning to ship McCain off to an old folks home, change into a Republican and then try to wrest the nomination from him?

Did I miss something?

If this is true, great!!!!!!!!Then when Obama wins the nomination he can leave the Ohio and Fla. campaigning to her and Bill. Well maybe with somebody supervising them so they don't mistakenly work for McCain.

Oh goodie, Florida & Ohio, the two states that lost us the 2000 and 2004 elections.

It's deplorable that Hillary Clinton's supporters are saying they would vote for McCain rather than Obama in the general election. I have to believe this would change after Obama gets the nomination and they have time to think about the issues and what's at stake: Iraq and our international reputation, health care, the next Supreme Court nominee. Democrats need to take advantage of the huge increase in voter registration and take back the country.

If Senator Obama would sit down and have an in-depth discussion with Senator Hagel and if they both come to agreement on a plan to get us out of that mess and Hagel would be his point man on Iraq, then I would like to see an Obama/Hagel ticket.

This will change when Obama becomes the nominee.

Those of you who think that Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida don't matter may find it interesting to play around with this interactive electoral map.
