everyone seems to realize THAT except hillary and her supporters.

hillary supporters can't seem to get it through their heads that SHE has completely alienated the ONLY voting block democrats CAN'T WIN WITHOUT! nor can they get it through their heads how many NEW voters obama brings to the party. nor can they get it through their heads that hillary's negatives are much higher than obama's, or that 63% of the american people feel the woman can't be trusted! or that obama isn't really different in policy.

all they "see" is an overwhelming fear that america isn't ready to elect a black man. period. it's kinda sad. no, not "kinda" sad - it's VERY SAD!

obama doesn't win with the OLD political map.
he draws a NEW one.
it's a post-racial map.
it's a post politics of division map.

RIGHT NOW, not only does obama win states hillary can't possibly win - taking several traditionally GOP states AWAY from the republicans - but he also, with the POSSIBLE exception of MAYBE a couple, he wins every state she would win, too.

as the party unifies around him, especially if this is done early enough, he would win even those states.

but hillary supporters just don't get ANY of these things.
Actually yes...most of us do get it, but that does not discount those states. Not all of any group or state can be labeled. The rallying cry doesn't work. Simply put there are two candidates and for whatever reason they vote it cannot just be brushed aside as easily as Obama brushes dust from his shoulder.

I cannot and will not say that Obama cannot win in Kentucky or West Virginia for that matter......but I do know that labeling or stereotyping an entire state isn't going to win them over.
