If Hillary won fewer delegates and fewer states...
Why are her supporters acting like she won? Where is the victory?

5. If you can't see the answer to that, then I don't know what to tell you
Blue states are going to go blue no matter what in Nov. Inspiring people in red states, and getting them involved in the process early, in margins larger then the republican races, will help in the GE.

6. You think Obama would lose the blue states if he was the nominee?
Uh, no. He'd keep the blue states and tip the purples.

8. Where is the victory in not winning so-called red states?
Blue states will go blue. If a candidate can win in a red state, where voter turnout for Dems is higher than pukes, they could take it in November.

A lose is a "red-state" won't do us ANY good. none.

11. That exactly what you'd want
All Blue states would ultimately go for Obama if he were the nominee. If Obama is strong in Red States in the primaries that can only be a good thing for Democrats in the GE. He might tip a few. In any event, it is certainly not a bad thing under any circumstances.

4. Good question.
There are big Obama-friendly states coming up, so I guess the Clinton supporters are trying to deny reality and enjoy the last gasps.

9. Your first problem is you had to use the word if.
Your second problem is showing why Republicans will vote for Obama in red States.

14. She's the Potemkin candidate
Nothing real about her candidacy from being a liberal to 35 years experience to winning one state to winning tonight - but they just keep pretending up is down and losses are wins. :crazy:

15. They will say because of Calif., NY and NJ
NY was never in play, but the fact is he ran quite well even in states he lost to her. The other not so pretty fact for Hillary is that she's fresh out of states where she can exploit her "Latino Advantage". Bad news.

20. Well if Obama had taken CA that would have been a knockout
Fact is Hill couldn't afford to lose CA to Obama or she was done. They should be happy, this is still a race.
