Francisco Gonzalez says Obama cannot win
My friend and fellow blogger Francisco Gonzalez says that Barack Obama can’t win the White House. I tend to believe that he is the favorite, despite the weaknesses Cisco cites. But I hope he is right and I am wrong!
Here is an excerpt from his blog Enjoying Freedom Every Day.
Think about it. He got trounced in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. Trounced. If a Democrat is going to take the White House, they need BOTH of those states. Ohio is a key battleground state, while Pennsylvania is a state that demographically represents the United States with its diverse populations, large cities and small towns.
If Obama has so much momentum WITHIN the Democrat party, if he is the front-runner, why aren’t the Democrats of Pennsylvania getting behind him to end this thing and move on to the general election?
Good questions. But I think the Democrats will be solidly behind Obama once he gets the nomination. Those hundreds of thousands of Hillary voters will fall in line and pull the lever for Obama. If she were to win, on the other hand, I think Obama supporters would not come out for her. Time will tell.
