I Don't Understand The Talk That Obama Needs To Show He Can Win A Big State.....
Why? This is just the primary to select a nominee. Will it be Hillary or Barack? Why does he have to win a state like California to show he's a stronger candidate? As long as he continues across this country and wins or comes within a reasonable percentage margin and wins the delegate count - he is as qualified to win the GE as Hillary.

I ask you - if Barack turns out to be the Dem nominee - does that mean that California Dems won't vote for him in the GE?

No - all of us will rally around the Dem nominee and vote for whomever it is.

Showing one can win in a 'big state' in the primaries has no bearing on whether they can win in that same state in the GE.

3. he'll win all the big Dem states in the GE anyway
it's a dumb argument. He does have to win more delegate though, and winning some big states would be helpful in that respect.

7. I also don't buy that "he sounds like a preacher, he has no specifics" line. or the "name one
accomplishment" crap. Please. Hey, I dig Hilly and the big O. But I think many do not realize that Obama is a phenom that is only starting to catch on. I just sense it. (And I am not even a rabid supporter)
