Gallup: Key Clinton voters are shifting to Obama



----------------------------------------

Rasmussen Markets data gives Sen. Obama a 62.9% chance of winning in November

"The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator shows Democrats leading in states with 200 Electoral Votes while the GOP has the advantage in states with 189. When “leaners” are included, the Democrats enjoy a 260-240 Electoral College lead. Rasmussen Markets data gives Democrats a 62.9% chance of winning in November (results are updated on a 24/7 basis by market participants). "

"Rasmussen Reports believes the race is over and that Barack Obama will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. We will stop tracking the Democratic race in the near future to focus exclusively on the Obama-McCain match-up."

2. Are you talking about that Clinton person that lost the nomination a while back?

Why are there polls regarding her still being made? That seems like a waste of money.

3. well as Rasmussen puts it: "Rasmussen Reports believes the race is over "

"Rasmussen Reports believes the race is over and that Barack Obama will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. We will stop tracking the Democratic race in the near future to focus exclusively on the Obama-McCain match-up."

4. I enjoy the irony of the two candidates and their alternating emphasis

on popular vote vs. delegates/electoral votes.

Hillary is pushing the popular vote theme in the nomination process (though this is debatable and depends on just the right set of considerations), while deemphasizing the delegate counts. Obama can take solace in the popular vote projections in the GE, while Hillary touts her advantages in the electoral college and the swing states.

I support Obama and think that he will win the nomination, the GE, be a great president and the country will be better for it. I do enjoy the irony of the popular vote vs. delegates counts and the electoral college and which candidate emphasizes which depending on the situation. :)
