The swing states decide elections, and they are decided by independent voters....a demographic where Obama beats Hillary by a 2 to 1 margin.
So tell me again how this red state/blue state thing benefits your candidate?

Your also discounting the facts of the distain each side has for each other, and the growing hatred of the Obama campaign as the sexism debate comes into play. There is going to be a % of Clinton democrats who will cross the isle. There was a poll out this week that showed more Obama supporters would vote for Clinton than Clinton voters would vote for Obama. I'll dig up that link asap.
Also in the link I provided earlier on this page the data shows Obama is winning the independants by a good margin, but he is not getting more moderates than Clinton is. And there are far more moderates than independant voters out there as the data also shows. And the margin of moderates voting for Clinton is even larger in the swing states as the data shows.

Read it again and look at the hard data and it will become clear.
