Obama is winning just about all Caucus states. Why this is bad

[catagory5]

There are only a few Caucus states left. Ohio+=Primary Texas = Partial 80 %Primary 20 caucus Penn=Primary

Am I wrong?

3. He's won primaries too. This is a way to discount his wins and marginalize him.

[catagory5]

6. huh?

how many primaries?

[AZBlue]

17. Why are you posting here if you don't even know that?

Is it just to spread misinformation??

Ironically, it rhymes with poll...

[Yossariant]

25. The biggest primary that he won is his home state. He also won South Carolina,

Georgia, Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Missouri and Utah primaries.

You're making a valid point here.

Don't let the fanatics scare you off it.

Hillary has won primaries in New Hampshire, Arkansas, California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma and Tennessee.

You're right about the pattern and what it says about Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

26. Good question -- let's see now ...

Illinois and Georgia, CT, S Carolina, and probably now Louisiana. I believe that DE was a primary state and so was MO. New Mexico is more or less a tie -- so Obama has been doing pretty respectably in primaries as well as caucuses.

There might be some other states where he has won primaries -- I don't have encyclopedic knowledge offhand.

Also note that, coming from about 20+ points behind, he hasn't done too shabbily even in states like NH, NY, MA, NJ and CA where Hillary Clinton scored big wins.

4. Obama has won 9-1 in caucuses which means he has won 8 primaries so far (LA still out)

to HRC's 11--he isn't doing badly in primaries either (not counting MI and FL which were uncontested).

[Ken Burch]

5. There's a meme the HRC people are spreading that Obama only wins Red State caucuses

because of GOP infiltration campaign. Why the GOP would want to boost Obama when the polls show him as the stronger candidate against McCain remains a mystery.

Basically, it's just the HRC people saying "it only counts when WE win".

7. Doesn't mean he can't win Primaries

VA, MD, and DC are primaries

[NJSecularist]

8. Apparently you have to be in Category 6

to realize that every state that Obama wins, Clinton doesn't.

[existentialist]

10. Category 6?

[jkshaw]

15. The OP

Was Category5

[catagory5]

11. c'mon

add them up. most his wins are in primaries. thats all i am sayin. It shouldnt be a fight. Add up the wins twits.

[cali]

9. bzzzt. wrong.

He'll win VA- primary state. He'll win MD- primary state. He'll win VT- primary state. He has a good chance in TX.

[catagory5]

12. Mad?

No chance in Texas. Be for real. Ohio and Texas is Clinton's. He can send 600 workers. It aint gonna happen.
I am not trying to start shit with this. Good night for Obama. A win is a win. I am just talking strategy. Primaries are "generally" hers. Caucuses are almost always his. Right?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

16. welcome to DU, "catagory5" n/t

[cali]

21. TX is a hybrid and he's only 10 pts back in the most recent polls

He'll have all the momentum and he has over 2 weeks to focus on TX and Ohio. I don't think he can win Ohio, but yeah, he has a good shot at TX. I'm just talking stratdgy too. She's won 8 states (maybe 9) She's won one caucus state and 7 primaries. He's won primaries in Georgia, SC, LA, CT, IL, and, I believe, a couple more. He'll win MD and VA. By Tuesday night he'll have won more primaries than she has. Care to dispute this?

[joshcryer]

14. I take it you no longer think Hillary is going to win?

[cali]

22. No. I still think a deal will be brokered and she'll come out on

top.

13. Pop back in on Wednesday and repost this

:hi:

18. Obama has the money; Hil does not

Go! Bama!

[jackson_dem]

20. Yup. It is easier to buy caucuses than primaries

Obama outspent the second place finisher by 6:1 to buy Iowa.
