was back around 10 points as of 10 days ago, in Rassmussen, Gallup, NYT/CBS, this is quite a showing.  Now the question does the shift continue?

Are the caucuses included in this?  I thought the actual numbers of voters at caucuses are not released, just the number of state delegates the candidates receive.  And state delegates are not split between the candidates based solely on votes.  or not?

Has support of half the party, while Obama doesn't.

The total votes cast to date:

Clinton: 8,886,712 (55.5%)
Obama: 7,132,964 (45.5%)

These do not include the caucus states of Nevada, Iowa, and Alaska which would bump up Obama slightly. These give Obama credit for all of the "uncommitted" delegates in Michigan.

The fact of the matter is that Clinton is dominating in the big states that are crucial to a Democratic win in the Electoral College: California, New York, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Tennessee.

The fact of the matter is that she is dominating in terms of solidifying a Democratic majority: women, Latino/a, Asian American, blue collar Reagan Democrats. She even won the 18-29 vote on both coasts yesterday (Massachusetts and California).

The fact of the matter is that she is showing strength in key swing states like Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, and Arkansas, while many of Obama's wins are coming in states that wouldn't vote Democratic if Ronald Reagan switched parties (SC, GA, Kansas, Alabama, North Dakota).

The fact of the matter is that Clinton is winning the key "downticket" districts by winning the key rural and suburban areas of states like New Jersey and Missouri and California. Suburban women supporting the top of the ticket give the Democrats a fighting chance at the purple districts while, in state after state, Obama's vote totals are coming from urban areas that already lean solid Democrat.

be heading down the bakesale or car wash -- or whatever it is that Hillary is asking for with today's e-mail --- or do you just expect her to lend her campaign ANOTHER 5 million!

campaign.  Obama supporters are matching it in the next two days.  The Clinton Campaign is in big financial trouble.  This means the January numbers were Obama 33 million Clinton 8.7 million.

Bill Clinton in Iowa  Dec 24, 2007

"They say you couldn't stop me from spending all the money I've saved over the last five years on Hillary's campaign if I wanted to, even though it would clearly violate the spirit of campaign finance reform."

Wow.  Hillary loaned herself 5 Million in January so she raised much, much less than Obama.  Will she loan herself more?

Six of the contests that Obama won were caucus states.  Fifty percent of the states (California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts) that Hillary won are essential to a Democratic electoral strategy.  Only 28.6% of Obama's primary wins (Illinois, Connecticut) were essential to Democratic chances.  

How can anyone who wins not one of California, New York, or Florida lay claim to the party mantel?

Wow this is what used to do trying to make people think Edwards was going to win.

She lost.

Clinton lost the primary on super tuesday.

Lost in delgate count and states.

Obama came in just days from millions back to less than one percent of voters. Across the nation. Came from way behind to win.

Wait I think you should add the votes each of the super delegates got in their capacities. For example if Boxer endorses HRC, then you can add her several million votes too. Hey Multiply it by the number of times they were elected.

This used to be a little less of a "what can I say to move my candidate forward" site then it has become.

I urged people to commit to a candidate, for many weeks, but I assumed it would be about issues and stuff. This is just silly.

The Clinton campaign is admitting to self funding, they can't raise enough to continue. They lost the race for states and for delegates. They lost momentum. IMHO they have lost the imagination of the nation.

Are you suggesting that convention count votes from primaries and caucuses? Do you want to do away with delegates completely? Or is this just the ground work for an ugly ugly campaign destroying credential fight at the convention.

A lot, a lot, of people will be very very disappointed and angry with the Clintons and the party if Obama is denied the Nomination because of rules irregularities.

That would not bode well for victory in November.

She was supposed to raise more money than Obama throughout the campaign. She couldn't

She was supposed to blow obama out on Super-Tuesday. She couldn't

She should be worried http://www.politico.com/news/stories/020 8/8363.html

just look at the next 10 primariescaucuses, Obama could very well win all 10 of them.

I don't know where you are getting your numbers.
I entered all the vote totals in a spreadsheet this afternoon. The only state I didn't add was the tiny caucus in Alaska.

Here are the totals from just yesterday:

Clinton: 7,457,716 (53%)
Obama: 6,654,951 (47%)

The gap is wider when you count all the states so far 55% to 45% because of the huge vote tallies in Michigan and Florida.
