So. 4 canidates, two dems. Obama the current top dem canidate, and winning overall. And dems winning over repubs with about 60-70% of the votes.

Honestly, I could care less who has gotten the most votes from the dem associated party. Because that doesn't matter in the end. And I can't stand one sided party members to begin with. |
Sorry my bad, I mis-understood your point. But your point that it doesn't matter I do disagree with for the simple fact that if you don't look at the numbers of true democrats solely and look at those numbers then you will be left with a misguided picture of what is going to happen in the GE. It's crazy to expect the Indy's and republicans that voted in the democrat primaries to stay with the Dems come November. So you need to extract the breakdown to see where things really stand.
And when your dealing with the electoral college voting system in the general is very important to understand the breakdowns.
And with McCain being the nominee definitely hurts the Democratic party more than if Romney was the choice as McCain appeals to more moderates and will reach into the Democratic party. Especially in a key swing state like Florida who feels abandoned by its party.
