to support Obama.
You throw in Virginia and Georgia into a list of "big states" in which obama won by a disporportionate amount in with a list of key general election states that he didn't win and somehow make the argument that Obama "outperforms?" Common. This is the kind of stuff that makes us look like punks.
Calling Hillary's 57% (that's huge) win in New York a "relatively poor performance" is ridiculous, and comparing it to Obama's illinois win is meaningless - two completely separate states with completely different voter contexts.
If I were you, I would write an entire post about election fraud - that's where there are real questions that really deserve an answer.
Meanwhile, Obama is the best candidate for the nomination because he leads in pledged delegates, leads in the popular vote, has one the most states INCLUDING some key swing states, and has the most money to campaign in the general. He will have no trouble winning the "big states" in a general election with a unified and record turnout democratic party.
But let's avoid stupid arguments if we can.
