Why would you assume that Obama won't be able to win the vote against a republican in the general just because he lost a primary against Hillary? That is the part that just doesn't make sense whenever I hear Hillary or one of her surrogates say it.

Not to mention, if she's actually going to work as hard as she can to get him elected, she's will be able to campaign for him in those swings states and get the vote out for him. The only state that I think he can write off is West Virginia...it was a mistake to not put any effort there at all. Hillary was definitely going to win but, at least get out there for a few rallies at the college campuses if nothing else. He probably won't need the 5 electoral votes but, why give them away if you don't have to?

Further, Obama's electoral map is different from Dems in the past. He can make inroads in states that Dems haven't competed well in the past....Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Georgia, Colorado, Virginia. He can afford to lose a state like Ohio or Pennsylvania if he can get several of the others.

Oderint, dum metuant.


You are a god damned idiot, you know that? You ought to be smacked upside your dumb-fuck head, even after all these years. Shame on you!
