Democratic Race Dead Heat; McCain Favored Slightly
Click Image To See Original Swivel Chart
Meanwhile, Republican John McCain is slightly more popular than either Democrat on a head-to-head comparison. He leads Obama by 51% to 41% and Clinton, 50% to 43%.
McCain also has higher "favorability" numbers, although they don't correlate directly with the head-to-head match-up. Nationally, McCain is viewed favorably by 55% of voters and unfavorably by 42%. Both Democrats have larger unfavorable than favorable numbers: Obama has a 46% favorablity rating and 51% unfavorable; and Clinton falls in at 44% favorable and 54% unfavorable.
Adding to the "too close to call" nature of the contest, 7.5 months out, is the electoral college, which is leaning the other direction. Democrats currently have an edge, leading in states with 200 electoral votes compared to McCain leading in states with only 189 votes.

DON’T BE DUPED !!!
Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.
But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. “Carpe diem” (harvest the day).
I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it’s time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children’s future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.
You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.
Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.
Hillary Clinton has been out manned, out gunned, and out spent 2 and 3 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.
The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
I think Barack Obama has a once in a life time chance to make the ultimate historic gesture for unity, and change in America by accepting Hillary Clinton’s offer as running mate. Such an act now would for ever seal Barack Obama’s place at the top of the list of Americas all time great leaders, and unifiers for all of history.
The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.
Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.

Yeah, right… Does anyone really believe this? It’s laughable. I remember all too well (and a long time before the campaign began) my discussions with American colleagues (moderate Reps and moderate Dems, all of them). There was only one thing they were all agreeing on: Hillary Clinton might have a great backup from her party, she is still distrusted by too many people in the center, where the election is actually won in the end. One Republican I know was even going as far as saying: I hope Hillary wins the Democrat nomination, because then she will just be wiped out. Arguably, he was more thinking about a Rudy vs. Hillary fight than a John vs. Hillary (but he didn’t exclude it either). Looking back, he was a better political analyst than most official ones I have read in the media, especially for a tanker operations specialist without any political education.
