Tuesday's Pennsylvania Primary shows that:

1.Barack Obama cannot win one single swing state.

2.Barack Obama cannot get the votes of "lunch-bucket Democrats" and the Democrats can't win without that vote.

3.Barack Obama can outspend his opposition three to one and still lose in the double didgets [and don't think John Mc Cain is not taking note of that].

4.Obama only got as far he did because he wasn't being scrutinzed.

5.Obama does not hold up well to scrutiny.

6.Hillary may still win the popular vote in the primaries.

It's obviously highly opinionated, and from a partisan source, but writing it off as "spin" isn't a good idea.

Point #2 is especially important: Obama is incredibly popular with college kids and black voters, but he clearly does have a big problem with the so-called "lunch bucket" Democrats, even in deep blue states (e.g. Hillary whomps McCain in Massachussets, but Obama and McCain run neck and neck). I'd be shocked if he doesn't get the nomination at this point, so I hope it's something he pays attention to and addresses as quickly as possible. This is urgent, and something that cannot be written off as spin if Obama wants to win.

It also shows that the racist black vote along with the ignorant twit 'youth vote' and the self-hating white liberal vote isn't enough to win major elections.

The 'youth vote' was decidedly thin. I guess there was some new shiny game on their ButtBerries or whatever those things are called that distracted them from the polls.

Yep. It looks like Hillary's two core constituencies, the Archie Bunkers and those angry, old, menopausal, man-hating "white women" are solidly behind her. Those are a couple of groups for her to really be proud of consistently carrying votewise, they embody the old-fashioned "American Way".
Actually, I had no real idea there were so many of either group in this country. Who could have known, in this day and age, that there are so many old throwbacks still alive and living comfortably in the past?

In each state that has been contested, as the voters got to know both candidates, Hillary's numbers went down and Barack's numbers went up with registered Democrats who actually voted in the last DNC primary. PA started with her up by 20 - 24 points and ended with her up by 10. Same with Ohio and Texas. In fact, if the Rush Limbaugh vote hadn't saved her, she would've lost Texas as the DNC-only caucuses proved in that state.

The truth is that Hillary is an extremely divisive individual, and if she were to be put out as the Democrat general election candidate, the GOP base would be energized as it has never been energized, and McCain would win in a landslide. A mummified corpse would win in a landslide against Hillary in a general election. She's earned that much hatred from the GOP base since 1992, and that hatred runs really deep.

Believe me, once Barack Obama finally puts this primary behind him, the Democrats will rally around him, and the "Reagan Democrats" will remain the pseudo-Republicans they've always been and vote for the GOP candidate anyway. Just like they'd do if Hillary were the nominee. Barack isn't losing any DNC voters due to Hillary's nonsense.

All this talk about him bringing millions of new voters into the DNC ranks is pure crap. Not all, but many of these are Republicans who are voting against him in these primaries. In PA, they saw the need to actually (and temporarily) switch party affiliation to do so. I know this by what happened in Ohio. My own in-laws are Republicans who voted in the DNC primary - here in Ohio - in order to vote against Obama. John McCain was already the nominee, so they all just figured they'd make their votes count. They have some weird fear that a Barack Obama presidency will cause serious damage to our society. As my father-in-law said, "This country just isn't ready for a black president." This is a belief that a lot of these older voters firmly believe, and they believe that it's up to them to save us from ourselves by voting against Obama. My in-laws are unapologetic for their votes, and see it as being concerned about their country. Not as anything racist at all. Just being sensible, and responsible. Sadly, they still live in a past where decent black folks keep in their place, and they only see young black men as gang members and criminals.

Republicans wouldn't vote for a black man named Barack Hussein Obama. I don't care what the pundits say. Most of the big move from GOP to DNC in this primary season is about shutting Obama down. Period. The media is just afraid of the societal ramifications of admitting such a thing. They've been stumbling over themselves to try and explain the weird record breaking turnouts, even while the race stays so relatively close. Hillary owns the temporary GOP crossover, and she knows it. They all know it. They also know that it'll all turn against her if she steals the nomination through the Super Delegates, along with the rest of the Democratic Party.

Only the average voter is oblivious to what's happening here.

Tuesday's Pennsylvania Primary shows that:

1.Barack Obama cannot win one single swing state.

Assuming you mean the general election, what swing state does he lose that Hillary wins? (As in, I don't think Hillary could take Florida, personally.) And if nothing else, he puts Illinois in the bag on the D side of the ledger. It was probably Dem leaning, but a native son seals it.

2.Barack Obama cannot get the votes of "lunch-bucket Democrats" and the Democrats can't win without that vote.

What evidence do you have that Hillary gets them while Obama won't in a general election? Hell, Obama's been the one talking about withdrawing from NAFTA, and nobody with a prayer to win gives a hoot about border security. I'd imagine "lunch-bucket Democrats" will vote D if they're concerned about things like healthcare, R if they're still hypnotized by the administration spin about national security.

3.Barack Obama can outspend his opposition three to one and still lose in the double didgets [and don't think John Mc Cain is not taking note of that].

I've yet to see a poll that shows Obama as nominee v. Clinton as nominee will make a whole heck of a lot of difference overall. (It may on a state-by-state basis, so anything you'd care to present about that I'll happily read over.) Seems to me the race is a dead heat whomever comes out on top, and any poll you'd care to quote has a victory for McCain, Clinton fairly close to a rounding error.

See here. (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/national.html) - My only concern is I'm honestly not sure how up to date this listing is.

4.Obama only got as far he did because he wasn't being scrutinzed.

5.Obama does not hold up well to scrutiny.

None of the candidates do.

6.Hillary may still win the popular vote in the primaries.

Unless this Link (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_vote_count.html) is garbage, she absolutely will not. The only way to conclude that Clinton wins the popular vote is to include Michigan, where Obama's name was not on the ballot. Moreover, Hillary is going to lose both North Carolina and Indiana, maybe not by much, but she's still going to lose them. So Obama's margin in the popular vote is going to increase, not decrease.

Ah, thanks. I thought those pronouncements were too good to be true. Especially since I've not heard them repeated. Obama might actually have gotten my vote had he stuck to this, even though I suspect he'll make a worse president even that Bush has. Neither McCain nor Clinton has said anything I want to hear, that one statement from Obama is all I've heard from him I liked. And now I'll disregard it.

No problem. They would be linked to opensecrets.org, and an article in Z magazine last February. Despite all the hoo hah about 'small donors', the data from February didn't show any great wave of 'small donors', unless Ma and Pa Kettle regularly blow $500 and above on political donations, and besides it's the big boys who donate early that get the access, not the unwashed masses who donate later after all the media exposure. Those would be in the Z article on 'The Hidden Primary'.

Don't recall if Ospama ever opted out of the Federal matching Funds thing or not; he claimed he wasn't going to, then he said he wasn't sure, blah blah blah.

opensecrets should have the March update out by now; haven't looked at it for a month or two.

The fact is that Obama fans have to ask that with everything going for him,why can't win a single primary in those states?

If Obama is every bit as great as his fans says he is,then why couldn't he be able to wrap it up a long time ago?

I'm sure the overwhelming majority of those 48-51% you name live in hardcore Red States that no Democrat will win in the Electorial College anyway.

By October 2007 employees of the Goldman Sachs investment bank had given Clinton $338,690, Morgan Stanley employees $326,190, and Citibank employees $303,865. Obama got $360,328 from Goldman Sachs employees, even more than Clinton, but overall securities and investment companies, commercial banks, and real estate firms favor Clinton first. Security and investment companies favor Obama second, but real estate likes Romney and Guiliani over Obama. Hedge funds donate more to Guiliani than anyone, ahead of Clinton and Obama, and insurance ranks Chris Dodd (from Connecticut, where the insurance industry is headquartered), ahead of Romney, Guiliani, and Clinton in that order.

A second pot of corporate gold comes from lawyers and law firms. Clinton leads among this group as well, followed closely by Edwards and Obama, then leading Republicans Guiliani, McCain, and Romney. Lobbyists—the third group of major donors—give more to Clinton and Guiliani than to McCain, Dodd, and Romney. Obama and Edwards are refusing to accept lobbyist donations. A fourth pot of money—oil and gas interests—favors Guiliani first, followed by Romney, Clinton, and McCain. Guiliani and McCain appear to have captured most of those who gave heavily to the Bush/Cheney campaign. The final source of major funding is from professionals, who are often tied to corporations and who generally have less capital and donate less money to campaigns. Health professionals, educators, entertainment, and computer/Internet professionals favor Obama with slightly more money than Clinton, who in second place stands well ahead of Romney, Guiliani, and Edwards respectively in donations.

“I’m very proud that, as of today, I have received more votes by the people who have voted than anybody else,” Mrs. Clinton said on Wednesday in a campaign appearance in Indianapolis. “It’s a very close race, but if you count — as I count — the 2.3 million people who voted in Michigan and Florida, then we are going to build on that.”

Mrs. Clinton won both those states by double-digit margins, but neither she nor Mr. Obama campaigned in them and Mr. Obama voluntarily removed his name from the Michigan ballot.

Florida = didn't count. New Hampshire = 3% difference. Nevada = 4% difference (and my vote wasn't counted, so who knows how many others weren't). And at that time the question was Hillary or Obama, not Hillary or McCain / Obama or McCain. They're different questions. Primary support =/= necessarily an indicator of General Election matchups. And if you don't believe I'm approaching this objectively... Obama beat Clinton in Missouri, but Clinton runs at least a little stronger there vs. McCain. It runs both ways. I just think Obama is much stronger overall.

Since you're the master of that, I'll defer to your judgment.

Yeah, its TT's latest ploy. He seems to think that if he openly admits to being spineless, his hypocrisy will somehow be ok.

What Pennsylvania showed to me is "Better the Devil you know than the Devil you don't know."

Barack raises too many qustions in the eyes of working joe Schlubs who say to themselves, "he's not one of us."

People have been dealing with Hillary and John for so many years, there are no suprises anymore, unpleasant or otherwise. Every week now you keep finding out something about the things, dealings, or people that Obama has associated himself with over the years and its getting too disconcerting for people.

In the is time of uncertainty and indecision, the last thing people want is to be wondering about is their leaders. And thus they fall back onto the old predictable stand-bys.
