Hillary Clinton Watch: Winning in the Electoral College
Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., right, speaks to the crowd at Anderson High School’s gymnasium Thursday, March 20, 2008 as he and Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., campaign in Anderson, Ind.
With the deepening Democrat Party dilemma with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, Hillary has resorted to an argument of electability of her candidacy in the Electoral College.
Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana, who backs Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for president, proposed another gauge Sunday by which superdelegates might judge whether to support Mrs. Clinton or Senator Barack Obama.
He suggested that they consider the electoral votes of the states that each of them has won.
“So who carried the states with the most Electoral College votes is an important factor to consider because ultimately, that’s how we choose the president of the United States,†Mr. Bayh said on CNN’s “Late Edition.â€
In a primary, of course, electoral votes are not relevant, but the Clinton campaign is trying to use them as an unofficial measure of strength.
So far, Mrs. Clinton has won states with a total of 219 Electoral College votes, not counting Florida and Michigan, while Mr. Obama has won states with a total of 202 electoral votes.
Hillary Clinton will do ANYTHING to steal the Democrat nomination from Barack Obama who has won the most elected delegates and the popular vote.
Hence, comes the Electoral College argument for HER candidacy.
The Electoral College argument can be used AGAINST Barack Obama and HIS electability in the general election.
Flap doubts Obama will be able to win ANY of the Bush/Cheney 2004 red states and head to head polls show him already trailing John McCain in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Game over in the Electoral College.
Does Hillary have a point since she fairs better in the polls against McCain in Bush/Cheney red states and in large electoral college vote states like California than Obama? Flap thinks so.
But, will the Democrats nominate her?
By the way, Evan Byah will be Hillary’s choice for Vice President should she be successful against Obama. She will need him to win Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Nevada and Ohio.
Stay tuned…….

I respect your feelings, Obama is a Stand up guy,,but he losing American right and left,
When he made it a point to go on every news media and say he NEVER Heard REV Jeremiha Wright, say those things,,, then a week Later,,,He make his speech and flat out says Yes He was in church when he made those Remarks right there and then ,, Barack Obama is just a politician who just trying to get Elected,,, He Lied to all American,,, A lot of American including including Republican,, if Obama made it about Race,,, the black Community Will lose the Race,,My self, being a Mexican American, I would love to see, A black President Barack Obama is not him anymore,,, He has No integrity,,, and already lied Live on TV,,,Obama want everyone to look Beyond Race,,, Thats where he loses people,,,He telling All American,,, Look beyond Race while he hold a double standard, when it comes to Race,,,All America See’s that,, Like I said again and again,,almost 6 month ago When Don Imus said those things about the womens basketball Team,,Barack Obama said he should get fired,, Honestly I felt he should get fired,,,

No American should be doing any kind of Remark like that,,, And I agree but when a black man does it and its happening more and more,, and In Jeremiah Wright, way worst,

In other words,,, Barack Obama speech is saying “All White Americans Look Beyond Race”
