More proof that Barack Obama is unelectable
National polls are pretty meaningless. Does it matter if a democratic candidate does better in New York than another democratic candidate? No. The dems are going to win New York, whether it be 55-45, 60-40, or 70-30. It simply does not matter. Of course, if Giuliana runs, can he carry New York? That'd be a huge blow for the dems.
Anyway, what matters are how individual candidates will perform in swing states like Ohio.
Take a look at the results of this SurveyUSA poll regarding electability in one specific swing state (Ohio).
It pits Clinton, Edwards, and Obama against Thompson, Guiliani, and Romney.
Giuliani beats both Clinton and Edwards by a very slim margin (48-47%) but holds a significant advantage over Obama (52-39%).
Clinton beats Thompson (48-47%) and Romney (52-42%)... Obama LOSES to Thompson (42-50%) and Romney (45-46%). Edwards defeats Thompson (52-43%) and Romney (56-36%)
So it's worth noting that of these three candidates, Edwards fares the best against all three republican opponents.
It also supports my belief that Obama is unelectable, as he loses by significant margins to all three republican candidates - two of which lose to Edwards and Clinton.
So stop wasting your money supporting a losing candidate. We dems need to get on the bandwagons that can win the general election.
