This may be a dumb question, and this is not meant as a slam, but has Obama won any "blue" states?

[Up2Late]

Now I'm sure the first question will be, "what do you mean by "blue" states?"

I mean the states that the so-called MSM says are "blue" states, as opposed to the "red" states that they (the MSM) says we (Democrats) are not supposed to win in the General Election.

Again, this is not a slam, I'm just too tired (or lazy) to figure this out myself right now.

[Seen the light]

1. Well let's see, he won Vermont tonight

What do you think? :)

[Up2Late]

20. Vermont in not usually a "blue" state...

...that was a "surprise win" for Kerry in 2004 if I'm remembering correctly.

[davidinalameda]

24. huh?

Bernie Sanders

Patrick Lehey

Howard Dean?

Vermont is good blue, except for the governor

[Up2Late]

31. Sorry, I always get Vermont and New Hampshire confused...

...both are a sort of wedge shape.

[davidinalameda]

33. actually NH is trending more and more blue too

all those exiles from Boston

[John Q. Citizen]

29. Vermont has gone to evey Dem since 1992

[Up2Late]

32. Sorry, confused it with New Hampshire again...

...but I wasn't asking how they actually voted in the last few elections, but how the MSM tells us how the states are supposed to vote (and label them "red" or "blue").

For some reason, they are almost always act surprised when Vermont and New Hampshire go for the Democrat.:shrug:

[Bread and Circus]

2. Yes, he's won more blue states than Hillary Cliton

[Seeker30]

6. Yea sure he has...not

[Bread and Circus]

13. Actually, he has...take a moment to read and do some minor arithmetic...

you'd be amazed what math can do for you.

[readmoreoften]

3. Vermont, for one.

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. Yes. He won Illinois.

He lives here, so that was a given.

[Up2Late]

22. That's one, but it's his home state, that's usually a given in the primary

Did Gore win his home state in the Primary, I can't remember. I know he lost it (Tenn.) in the General election.

[eShirl]

5. Maine

[Up2Late]

27. I thought Maine was a "swing state"

Not solidly "blue or "red."

[skipos]

7. No. IL, VT, ME, WA, DE, CT, MD are not blue states

Mark Penn told me so.

[VolcanoJen]

15. Thank you skipos!

:-)

Clarity is a good thing tonight.

[JVS]

21. You forgot MN, WI, MD, and IA (Iowa is borderline, but without it we don't win the EC)

[Skoods]

8. Connecticutt

[Skoods]

9. Delaware

[Cant trust em]

10. Washington state, nt

[Milo_Bloom]

11. CT, IL, WA, WI...

[mmonk]

12. Anybody who qualifies their statement without asking out right

in my mind is trending towards slam.

Original message
Obama Has Won More Blue States

It is just another Clinton lie that she has won the states we need to win in the fall. Not only has she not won the majority of blue states, she did not win the cities in the blue states she did win. She won those states by splitting the city/rural vote the same way the Republicans do. If you look at the map, Obama wins cities and progressives, and adds independent mountain and northwest voters. Even if she wins Ohio and Texas, they're red states anyway so they don't further the argument that we need her to win in November. Democrats, Independents, Republicans, the majority in all parts of the country have chosen Obama.

Obama:
WA, HI, MN, WI, IL, ME, CT, MD, DE, VT

Hillary:
CA, MA, NY, RI, NJ,

16. Is Ohio a "blue" state?

i didn't know that!

[Up2Late]

26. Usually, unless the election is stolen.

[John Q. Citizen]

36. No it's not. It's always been a swing state

[Mezzo]

17. "There are no red states or blue states, there are only UNITED STATES"

raaaaaaah!! raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

[John Q. Citizen]

18. Wisconsin, Washinton, Delaware,

[John Q. Citizen]

19. MN,

[MojoMojoMojo]

23. The big blues are the most important Next is Ohio and Florida

[Diane R]

25. Washington State. And, he won it by 68% to 32%. Makes Hillary's Ohio win look sad.

[Yavin4]

28. If Dems Only Win "Blue" States, Then NOTHING Will Change

Dividing the country between red and blue states is a recipe for disaster, and it's the main reason why things are the way that they are.

Everybody here loves to scream at the Dems in congress for not stopping the war, but the Dems do not have enough votes to overturn Republican filibusters.

[Indenturedebtor]

30. DU

For one ;)

[Yes We Did]

34. You are missing the point here people.

Blue states aren't going anywhere; purple states are turning blue, and with the republicans as unhappy with McCain as they are, those red states all come into play. Well, except Tennessee.

Obama will have no problem beating McCain. By the time Hillary gets through with him, they won't be able to say he is untested, will they.

[johnnydrama]

35. and you all forget

Hawaii.

Obama has actually won just as many blue states, and just as many big states.
