In your example, you are correct.  I'm saying that it is all about numbers.  
Obama already has the numbers in registered democrats. He should win easily.  
Democrats always have a gender edge with women and women make up more than 
50% of the vote.  

He has more registered democrats than there are registered republicans, he
has the gender numbers , because more women than men vote.  He has 
practically one hundred percent of the black vote.   

If you do the numbers, for the electoral votes, the only way he can lose 
(that I can figure) is if white democrats vote for Mccain.  voting for the 
green party is not the same as voting for mccain.

This is especially significant in the 'battleground' states like Michigan and 
Pennsylvania.  Democrats far outnumber republicans and women outnumber men

  I'm not saying this is the outcome I expect.  I expect Obama to win 
handily.  But, if he loses, hidden racism among white democrats is the
only logical reason.  

**** I have worked on two victorious gubernatorial campaigns, and did a stint 
working for a sitting U.S. Senator.  One thing I remember is that if you can 
get someone to donate even a dollar, they are usually yours for life.

 Most people are overlooking the significance of the hundreds of thousands of 
small donations Obama received in the primary.  The money, there, really 
isn't the point.  Obama is being funded and presented by the bankers and 
other wizards that always sit behind the scene.  But, he can count on those 
people who donated money, in any amount, to vote for him.  

I don't see how he can lose, other that what I stated before.  Of course, 
this is just my opinion.....bobford
