Friday, April 18th - Attention Superdelagates

I planned on posting about the Indiana Fairness Network, but I am embracing my vacation today. I will do that over the weekend or on Monday.

Today, I'm going to post some poll numbers from various states from Survey USA, which has been the best polling firm this election cycle.

Obviously, things can change pretty quickly, and once the Democratic primary ends, then you may see a lot of movement in the polls. However, I want you to consider this: Barack Obama could lose Massachusetts, Ohio, Missouri, and can't even get out of the 20th percentile in Kentucky, whilst Hillary Clinton destroys McCain in Massachusetts and Ohio. She can pick up Missouri, Kentucky and possibly New Mexico. Plus, she has wider margin of victory in California.

Everyone talks about Barack winning so much in the south, but he's being trounced in Virgina, Alabama, and Kansas (granted, so is Clinton, but Clinton has also won all the primaries in the BIG states, except Illinois). Will someone please explain to me how he's a better choice to win the General Election, based on victories in Red states that will never turn Blue? How embarrassing will it be if Obama can't carry the liberal bastion of Massachusetts?

Superdelgates, this is WHY you were created! We can't give the nomination to someone who is going to be like a lamb to the slaughter.
