According to SUSA, Obama would win more EC votes than Clinton in GE
This info was posted on dKos today. THey both beat McCain, but Obama does so more solidly. So much for the 'big states/Ohio' meme.

Clinton:

Obama:

More importantly:
-snip
Despite seemingly similarity in their performance against McCain, this breakdown shows real differences between Obama and Clinton in the general election. Against Obama, McCain's "solid" and "lean" states only add up to 123, while Obama's add up to 229. In a matchup against Clinton, the "solid" and "lean" states are of equal size: 201 for McCain, and 203 for Clinton. In other words, while McCain and Clinton appear evenly matched, McCain is only able to keep it close against Obama by running up a series of narrow wins in the toss-up states.

1. Hillary is using the failed several times over key states strategy
Axlerod has Obama on Deans 50 state strategy, where you contest every state.

That makes all the difference.

7. Obama loses Utah by 11 points, Clinton loses it by 38.
No Democrat has been within 10 points of a Republican president in decades. And while I do not believe a Democrat can win Utah, it'll force the GOP to start throwing money at this state if Obama chips away at the lead.
