Ok, well it's true - Hillary has done better than Obama this week vs McCain.

[FlyingSquirrel]

But not as much better as electoral-vote.com is saying (you'll be hearing much celebration about that one for awhile from Clinton supporters though.)

As I've stated before I believe electoral-vote.com is a RW site (well-disguised this year, but not so well-disguised in 2004); I don't trust their methodology of including only the very latest polls and a lot of their conclusions are suspect.

My methodology is discussed in previous journal entries.

Obama 269, McCain 269 (May 24)
Obama 274, McCain 264 (May 17)
McCain 290, Obama 248 (May 7)
McCain 281, Obama 257 (April 17)

Clinton 284, McCain 254 (May 24)
McCain 291, Clinton 246 (May 17)
McCain 307, Clinton 231 (May 7)
McCain 297, Clinton 241 (April 17)



These polls all came out before the latest controversial remarks by Sen. Clinton, so we'll have to wait and see how the public interprets them.

I'm leaving Obama ahead of McCain even though it's a tie because a tie sends it to the House of Representatives which Democrats currently control.

This week Obama lost his lead in Nevada while Clinton did better there (but still loses the state). Obama also lost a bit of ground in New Mexico but still takes the state. Clinton took Minnesota finally, and more importantly took the lead in FL. She also gained ground in Ohio (which she already had in her column).

Both Clinton and Obama gained ground in Colorado and Missouri - CO remains red for Clinton however, and MO remains red for both.

Obama gained some ground in OH (which remains red for him), MN, PA, VA and NH.

It's been a good week for us overall, but we have a long way to go.

1. It would go to the house but be a state by state vote

do we control it that way?

[FlyingSquirrel]

2. Good question..

Not sure I want to research it right now 'cause it's so early in the race.

[Hippo_Tron]

3. Yes we do

And we're likely to pick up more seats in the Congress and so we'll control more state delegations.

4. Faux rage or not Clinton kicks McCain ass. Obama is unelectable

and it will stay that way

[FlyingSquirrel]

5. So far, only if she takes Florida.

Not sure I want to bank on that electoral necessity again.

6. I'm feeling rather squirrely... this is making me nuts.

Electable?

Unelectable?
