    hillary and her 'big states'

    When giving the argument that Hillary wins the 'big states' Texas is always included in her Win column. No No No! She did not win Texas. She barely won the primary, but when the primary and caucus are added up, Barack Obama Won Texas.
    The score
    Clinton: Primary 65, Caucus 29 = 94 delegates
    Obama: Primary: 61, Caucus 38 = 99 delegates

    Let's get the facts straight here... Michigan and Florida are also always mentioned as Wins for her, but their elections were not valid, Obama wasn't even on the Michigan ballot.
    She also argues that she wins the 'solid Democrat' states. So what? If they're solid, Obama will win them in the fall. The states we should be worried about are the states that he won, like Kansas, Idaho, Alabama, Virginia, Nebraska, Mississippi, states that typically go Republican, but perhaps with Obama as the nominee, could go for him in the general election. Her campaign has argued that you can't win the general election without Pennsylvania, yet Kerry and Gore both won Pennsylvania in the last two general elections, and, wait for it.. they lost.
    Her arguments really are sad...
