So about that prediction....

Here’s another one of those cool interactive election maps. This one breaks down the electoral votes available by state and how the 3 remaining candidates are currently fairing against one another on a state-by-state basis. This site also bolsters our Hillary: Reagan Democrat theory we advanced here.

When they tire of having their backsides kissed, the undecided Dem supers might want to check this thing out. Its about electability. The first thing that jumped out at us when we were clicking around is that Hillary performs much better against McCain than does Obama in 3 critical battleground states (Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida) worth a collective 68 electoral votes.

Ohio and Pennsylvania, of course, are home to many of those rural white and ethnic conservatives we spoke of here and where, by the site’s reckoning, Clinton enjoys a 9-10 point lead over McCain.

The events of the past couple of weeks, especially regarding Obama, have made our logic of McCain easily beating Clinton appear suspect. But with things as fluid as they are, it could flip back the other way just as quickly. Ooops. Maybe it has, already.

P.S. If we had a nickel for every time Clinton Inc. and Camp Obama charged the other with using Rovian tactics, we wouldn't be so grouchy about never seeing a dollar of our Social Security. Rove Derangement Syndrome... catch it.

Got it on CNN, turns out the whole thing was dubbed in and spread as a viral video. Your right, nothing to it except the timing. The crap hits the fan with the election in play and not enough time to get the debunk out completely. Pretty crappy
