We all hear how "close" the Democratic Primaries are and how much Obama is so dominant in the hearts and minds of the average everyday Democratic voter.
Well if we looked at the Obama v. Clinton match-up in terms of the electoral college - we'd see a very different outlook.
Presidential elections are won or lost based on Electoral College votes, not based on "delegates", "superdelegates", party caucuses or total popular vote.
States that hold Primary Elections allow the VOTERS to choose their candidate, as opposed to states that hold caucuses in which voters don't go to the polls but rather Party-insiders do the voting.
And so to get a clearer picture of the Democratic outlook - I looked through the lens of Primary Election results only and then counted those results in terms of Electoral Votes for each of those states to see whether Obama or Clinton would have an easier time gaining the 270 necessary Electoral Votes to become President.
And so by tallying up the States won in the Primary Elections (where voters decide the result, not party-insiders) by Obama and Clinton based on their Electoral College votes - here are the results:
STATE - Electoral Votes (Primary Election Winner)
Alabama - 9 (Obama )
Connecticut - 7 (Obama )
Delaware - 3 (Obama )
District Of Columbia - 3 (Obama )
Georgia - 15 (Obama )
Illinois - 21 (Obama )
Louisiana - 9 (Obama )
Maryland - 10 (Obama )
Mississippi - 6 (Obama )
Missouri - 11 (Obama )
North Carolina - 15 (Obama )
South Carolina - 8 (Obama )
Utah - 5 (Obama )
Vermont - 3 (Obama )
Virginia - 13 (Obama )
Wisconsin - 10 (Obama )
148 Primary Electoral Votes For Obama.
Arizona - 10 (Clinton )
Arkansas - 6 (Clinton )
California - 55 (Clinton )
Florida - 27 (Clinton )
Indiana - 11 (Clinton )
Massachusetts - 12 (Clinton )
Michigan - 17 (Clinton )
New Hampshire - 4 (Clinton )
New Jersey - 15 (Clinton )
New Mexico - 5 (Clinton )
New York - 31 (Clinton )
Ohio - 20 (Clinton )
Oklahoma - 7 (Clinton )
Pennsylvania - 21 (Clinton )
Rhode Island - 4 (Clinton )
Tennessee - 11 (Clinton )
Texas - 34 (Clinton )
290 Primary Electoral votes For Clinton.
Woah! Looks like Clinton has a HUGE lead when it comes to where it counts state-by-state - 1) Actual voters and 2) Electoral Count.
Oh - well - what about the Caucus states. Shirley all the states won by Obama would make a big difference wouldn't it?
Okay - let's add in the Caucus states and add up those Electoral College Votes too. However - an odd thing happened in Texas, they had a Primary AND a Caucus - and the results were split between Obama and Clinton, Clinton won the Primary and Obama won the Caucus. So to be fair, I'll give EACH of them the full amount of Texas Electoral Votes:
STATE - Electoral Votes (Caucus Election Winner)
Alaska - 3 (Obama )
Colorado - 9 (Obama )
Hawaii - 4 (Obama )
Idaho - 4 (Obama )
Iowa - 7 (Obama )
Kansas - 6 (Obama )
Maine - 4 (Obama )
Minnesota - 10 (Obama )
Nebraska - 5 (Obama )
North Carolina - 15 (Obama )
Texas - 34 (Obama )
Washington - 11 (Obama )
Wyoming - 3 (Obama )
115 Caucus Electoral Votes For Obama.
Nevada - 5 (Clinton)
5 Caucus Electoral Votes For Clinton.
And so what's the grand total - in terms of Electoral Votes for each?
Clinton: 295 Total Electoral Votes
Obama: 251 Total Electoral Votes
* remember, Texas is counted once for each candidate.
Personally - I actually happen to think the State Primary Election results are FAR more telling than the party-insider polls done for State Caucus elections.
ETA: And if you look just at "swing" states who had Primary Elections, those states that are going to be the main battlegrounds and ususally determine the outcome of the elections:
Ohio - 20 (Clinton )
Pennsylvania - 21 (Clinton )
Florida - 27 (Clinton )
New Hampshire - 4 (Clinton )
Wisconsin - 10 (Obama )
Bottomline: Don't quit Hill! You can still win this!! LOL!

MINOR ERROR IN ABOVE POST:
North Carolina Caucus - 15 (Obama )
correction:
North Dakota Caucus - 3 (Obama )
115 Caucus Electoral Votes For Obama.
correction:
103 Caucus Electoral Votes For Obama.

I bet the object of all the files have been convinced to RETIRE!
Time has passed and they may have lost their value?

Drudge Report is part of the Obama media now so its just a nice lie nicely packed as a fact.
The Obama media is pulling out all the stops and Drudge is there buddy now.

It aint over. Count on it.
I'm certainly hoping not. I actually flirted with the idea of tossing the witch five bucks to encourage her to stay in. Processing costs would eat up most of it.
I'm sure she's going to hang in there for the next couple of weeks, until Oregon, at least. So, when does Rezko break into a good anti-O'bitter story?
