Obama Has Won More Blue States
I wanted to post this here too, it's cross-posted in GDP. I have been hearing this for a while and there is just no basis to this argument. We've got to shoot this down.

It is just another Clinton lie that she has won the states we need to win in the fall. Not only has she not won the majority of blue states, she did not win the cities in the blue states she did win. She won those states by splitting the city/rural vote the same way the Republicans do. If you look at the map, Obama wins cities and progressives, and adds independent mountain and northwest voters. Even if she wins Ohio and Texas, they're red states anyway so they don't further the argument that we need her to win in November. Democrats, Independents, Republicans, the majority in all parts of the country have chosen Obama.

Obama:
WA, HI, MN, WI, IL, ME, CT, MD, DE, VT

Hillary:
CA, MA, NY, RI, NJ

1. Wow, that's not what Hillary's folks say!
Gosh, they keep telling us that she wins in ALL the blue states and Obama only wins in red states that we won't be able to win in the fall anyway. :sarcasm:

I just want this whole mess over. And they are reporting here in Ohio that Hillary's fearmongering ads during the last weekend "sealed the deal" for her victory. Good to know.

2. Someone around here said they weren't shown in Ohio
and that the people who saw them in TX hated them which cost her votes. I don't know, but it would be interesting to find out.

3. Yep, they were seen here
And during the local news coverage of Hillary's campaign "victory" last night, the reporter said the 3 am ad and Hillary's intense attacks on Obama's character and experience "sealed the deal" here in Ohio. My son (talking to me from out of state) told me that Hillary won the uneducated white racist vote here in Ohio.

I'm so TIRED of being embarrassed about living in Ohio.
