Lauren Wolfe of Michigan shouldn't be included in the count, for obvious state-related reasons

it's funny how, for the second time today, you're preaching Hillary's talking points

earlier, you chose to present a vote count which included MI, but not IA, ME, NV, WA

now, you choose the 3 swing states the Clinton campaign would want you to talk about; it gets sillier than that, when one of your examples doesn't even look that swingy after all

where are CO, IA, MN, NC, NM, NV, VA, WI?

not to mention that you accept the Clinton premises regarding white voters; when should we expect the equivalent article about:
i. black voters
ii. college graduates
iii. all separate voting blocks in America?

"ABC survey says that 59% of Blacks would like to see Hillary as the VP candidate on the Democratic ticket"

There are at least a couple of reasons to doubt this.

First, they had a sample of only 206 black voters, hence the error might be sky-high.

Second, look back at various primary polls and you'll see many of them underestimating Obama's support at say 60-70%, when it was clear he was going for at least 85%. I was wondering back then why they published a poll which is so obviously wrong. Hence one has to think about how what people respond is correlated to what they actually think.

Oh, Obama is brilliant enough to overcome the Clinton machine, but you're saying he actually lacked the talent Columbia on his own, without affirmative action??

and yet, Clinton lost to Obama in terms of
a. pledged delegates
b. super delegates
c. popular vote
e. organization
f. total donations
g. number of small donors

she's on top though, in one count: debt

I wonder where this places her on your scale

Even shorter reply: primaries are over, Obama won.

"I cannot in good conscience go to the convention and not support Barack."

Then he should not go to the convention.

He should have the elegance to withdraw and let Clinton pick a replacement.

I don't like it one bit when pledged delegates forget about the people they're representing and start believing it's all about themselves.

I would give both of them credit for this poll result. Of course, Obama deserves more credit, but Clinton also did a lot of good work in NC.

you're pathetic, this is Friday's news.

look around, you might find Clinton's half delegate of the day somewhere, before it becomes old news as well.

Obama goes down 10 points against Clinton, while at the same time she loses 4 points against McCain, who to complete the circle loses 2 points to Obama. Rock, paper, scissors anyone?

I don't buy it.
