Ok first of all Mr Math Obama would need to win 70% of all the remaining pledged deleagtes to make the superdelegates moot. Even if you include his superdelegates and asusme he doesn't lose any of them, then he still needs 58% of the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination. Can he do that? Sure. Will he? Who knows? We'll know more after March 4th.
Obama 58% Clinton 41% -- Thats what you call owned

Democrats have historically voted more in primaries than general elections. The Federal Election Commission Reports show the trend.Here's something a little more scary for the repubs to think about. Look at the vote totals. The combined dems have almost a million votes, the repubs around 300 k yikes.
Obama 584,000 with 58 % in McCain 205,000 55%
Over double the votes. This is gonna be wipeout for the dems if these numbers break this way in the general.Comment

Not to mention in many primaries independants don't vote. It's also well known that the Dems were more excited about their candidates than the republcians so naturally they'd have higher turnout for the priamries. Whether republicans are going to be so turned off by McCain they won't vote and basically concede the election to the dems is hard to know right now.Comment

Go review the The Federal Election Commission Reports for the past 40-50 years, the trend is solid. The numbers fluctuate depending on the governors, whos running the senate and house and what candidate has the most appeal.Comment

thats like comparing apples and rocks. Not every state has primaries some just had democratic ones and not republican ones i would have to check to see how that worked out. Secondly the republican field had a lot more candidates in the beginning so the votes were split up more. Its been just clinton and obama for a while now so they have less other people to split the vote up with.Here's something a little more scary for the repubs to think about. Look at the vote totals.

They're not comparing just McCain's votes to Obama's votes or anything like that. They're speaking about the total number of votes cast in the republican primary versus the democratic primary. In that scenario, it doesn't matter if there are 2 candidates or 200.thats like comparing apples and rocks.
