Once he's the nominee, he'll get much more support from Dems.  WHich you know.

Jeez.  

Oh please, if you have to start making excuses for this state, you know he is in trouble. You may be willing to go down with the ship, I just hope other Obama supporters are not that foolish.

The fabled Massachusetts-DC strategy.  It didn't work the first time, but who knows.  Maybe the second time is the charm.

Once he's the nominee, he'll get much more support from Dems.  WHich you know.

Jeez.  

But the survey is done without having to ask the dem voters to make a choice between Hillary and Obama, there are plenty of voters who said them would vote for both (this is already likely the FULL democratic pool!).  The only difference is that the two candidates were measured against McCain.

The difference in 1992 was that Bill Clinton was pretty much an unknown.  Hillary Clinton is known by everybody.  

thank god, lol, maybe he can, I don't know, get some progressive policies passed, and also manage to keep it in his pants at the same time.

That's a compliment to him you just gave...

Thank God.

This state has a 100% Democratic congressional delegation.  Of course it will go Democratic, regardless.

Obama is not going to lose Mass.
Nor will he lose Pennsylvania
Nor will he lost New Jersey.

Get a grip people.

Oh, but he could win Iowa, Virginia, Nevada AND New Mexico...

Obama's tied with McCain at this point in MA. This is likely Obama's weakest point in the entire race and McCain's strongest. Obama's recovering from a drop in the polls (we're already seeing a recovery) and McCain is making huge gaffes and going unchallenged.

Obama will carry MA. I doubt it'll be within 5 points.

Obama will carry NJ. It'll be close, but he will. 2-3 points. NJ has been in play for a while, but it's still a democratic lean.

Obama will carry PA. There's very little chance it'll go Republican.

I really think the worry about Democrats not voting for Obama is wrapped up in the primary. Once the primary is over and they realize it's either a vote for a right-wing supreme court, 100 year of war in Iraq where the President can't tell the factions apart, a candidate who himself says he's weak on the economy, who's comparatively weak on the environment, versus a candidate who's strong on every one of those issues, the decision is obvious. McCain would have to an awful lot of rebuilding to get any traction among Democrats.

Obama and Clinton are essentially the same vs. McCain in Ohio, and that's at Obama's weakest point in the polls. Clinton runs a bit better in Missouri and definitely better in Florida, but again that's at Obama's lowest points. Most polls have shown Obama winning Missouri pretty clearly.

All of the states you list above are likely for Obama to carry. In addition, Texas is in play for Obama (polling 1 point down to McCain, versus 10 or so for Clinton); it'll create a very costly diversion for McCain at the least, forcing him to defend a huge state and spend time and resources there.

I see Obama losing Florida, Arkansas, and possibly West Virginia compared to Clinton in the GE. I see him picking up large chunks of the West where she has no chance. This is post-Wright, mind you; the polls are already reflecting Wright as a transient issue rather than a deep election-changing event (and if you're going to rely on a post-Wright drop in the polls, I'm going to rely on the yet-more-recent polling showing a recovery).

And, until this governor, they had four Republican governors in a row.  Run the right Democrat for President and plenty of MA resident will vote Republican.  Sure, they'll still keep voting Democrat for congressional candidates.

Are you aware of a man named Mitt Romney?

Deval Patrick is killing him in Ma.

If another election were held today in MA , Deval patrick wouldn't be the governor.

Obama reminds folks in MA too much of Deval Patrick , they are basically running on the same template and he has been a lousy governor that is why they threw Obama out of the door by 15 points even with all those endorsements.

One thing that won't change: "God Damn Amerikkka" video....

Hillary is not going to carry red states either outside of Arkansas and Ohio.  The difference is that Hillary Clinton cares very little about Congressional races and Barack cares a lot.  He campaigned all over the country for Democrats in 2006.
