Well it looks like Clinton has won her first landslide victory today in West Virginia. It looks like she will win by a margin of 30-40%. But what about Obama's numerous landslide wins? From CNN's website:
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/
Looking at the states that already voted, Obama had a larger margin of victory than what Clinton is projected to win in 7 states. What states? Here are the seven:
From the states that voted on Feb. 5th:
Georgia
O: 67%
C:31%
Minnesota
O: 66%
C: 32%
Colorado
O: 67%
C: 32%
Alaska
O: 75%
C: 25%
Idaho
O: 79%
C: 17%
And the rest of the states that voted after Feb. 5th:
Hawaii
O: 76%
C: 24%
Washington
O: 68%
C: 31%
Now Clinton backers would say that the majority of these states were caucus states and she does not do well in them, but coming from Clinton, "a win is a win". I would like to add that Georgia was a primary, and Obama destroyed her there. It is promising that the state might be competitive during the general election.
Landslides
O: 7
C:1
The media needs to point that out...
