to present Sen. Obama as unelectable - even though the evidence supported by the vast majority of independent and even a number Republican leading opinion monitors - show exactly the oposite.
Here are just some:
Rasmussen Markets data gives Sen. Obama a 62.0% chance of winning the White House in November
"The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator shows Democrats leading in states with 200 Electoral Votes while the GOP has the advantage in states with 189. When “leaners” are included, the Democrats enjoy a 260-240 Electoral College lead. Rasmussen Markets data gives Democrats a 62.0% chance of winning the White House in November (results are updated on a 24/7 basis by market participants). "
"Rasmussen Reports believes the race is over and that Barack Obama will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. We will stop tracking the Democratic race in the near future to focus exclusively on the Obama-McCain match-up. "
