Clinton Says Obama Can’t Win; I Agree But Neither Can She

Gribbit LogoIt is being reported, that while courting Bill Richardson (no relation) Hillary Clinton told Richardson, “He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win.” I couldn’t agree more. But she and liberal America put stock in polls like Quinnipiac. They change which polls they pay attention to depending on which puts them in the best light.

I however only put stock in one poll – Rasmussen Reports.

According to a recent Quinnipiac poll, Hillary would beat John McCain in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. All three are key states measured by Rasmussen but they have a different result.

Quinnipiac’s poll says -

Florida:

Clinton 44% McCain 42%
Obama 37% McCAin 46%

Ohio:

Clinton 48% McCain 39%
Obama 43% McCain 42%

Pennsylvania:

Clinton 48% McCain 40%
Obama 43% McCain 39%

In contrast Rasmussen Reports Election 2008: Presidential Race State-by-State Snapshot:

Florida:

Clinton 40% McCaiin 47%
Obama 43% McCain 47%

Ohio:

Clinton 40% McCain 46%
Obama 40% McCain 46%

Pennsylvania:

Clinton 44% McCain 46%
Obama 43% McCain 44%

Looking at the data from the only poll that I trust, it is clear that the assertion that Clinton would beat McCain in those states is not only false, but the assumption that it is supposed to make that she would stand a better chance at beating McCain is as well. The data provided by Rasmussen suggests that Clinton and Obama would garner about the same amount of support in each state and in each state the Democrat candidate would lose.

The real key states in the General Election according to Rasmussen Reports Election 2008: Electoral College Update:

Florida (27 electoral votes), Pennsylvania (21 electoral votes), Ohio (20 electoral votes), Michigan, (17 electoral votes), Virginia (13 electoral votes), Missouri (11 electoral votes), Minnesota (10 electoral votes), Wisconsin (10 electoral votes), Colorado (9 electoral votes), Iowa (7 electoral votes), Nevada (5 electoral votes), New Mexico (5 electoral votes), and New Hampshire (4 electoral votes).

These are the states that are the true “battle grounds”.
