Electoral Vote Projection - What's Going On? by NegroNtns(m): 7:12am On Sep 11, 2008
One of the reasons that Hillary completed the primary calendar and did not drop out early even when it was obvious that Obama would win the primary was because she wanted to prove a point that experience had taught her. Hillary realized the importance of electoral votes and where they mattered most and she repeatedly reminded her party leaders and the super delegates that come November 4th what mattered was electoral votes and she was the best candidate on that term to win against Republicans.

As evidence, she called upon those leaders to look at her results and compare with Obama's; Hillary had collected all the states where Democrats would need to win to get 270 electoral votes, of course if you counted Michigan and Florida. Her claim and warnings were dismissed as an attempt to move the goalposts and do anything by any means to win.

The election is only 7 weeks away. Predictions in this election season has been shattered many times and it is no longer reasonable to hold on to hope based on projections alone.

First it was predicted that Hillary Clinton will win the primary election and become the Democratic Party Presidential nominee. That Rudy Giuliani will be the Republican Presidential nominee. At one time John McCain, who ended up clinching the nomination for his party had started to fold up his campaing operations and was expected to announce his withdrawal from the primaries. There were rumors that John Edwards was a potential for Obama's VP slot. Mitt Romney was favored to VP for McCain. You have all witnessed these shuffles and dissapointments in projections.

Obama is currently projected to win the electoral votes. Can he? Will that projection come true?

Your views, . . . . . .

Forget Hillary Clinton. The DNC rules are explicit - whoever wins the most delegates, wins the nomination. "It's a delegates race" - Nancy Pelosi.

Why should the rules be changed to accommodate Hillary's logic?

As far as Obiden and McPalBush are concerned, I believe Americans will vote for change over old stale pap!
