The key in the east may be Montgomery County. It went Democratic in terms of registration for the first time since the Civil War just before the primary. Hillary won it in the primary.
So Obama is in massive danger of losing there but if he got 2000 more votes he'd have no problems at all?
BRTD, it is the margin that he carries it by. The county was close, but that indicates there are a lot of Democrats who didn't vote for him. Even if he had barely won it, there would still be a large number of Democrats that didn't vote for him.
So? There's a lot of Democrats that didn't vote for him in San Francisco. So what? I doubt people would be saying Hillary would be having problems in Philly if she was the nominee. Hell by this logic Obama should be the favorite in Utah, since he won the primary handily and McCain was absolutely destroyed.
Montco was better for him than the state numbers, so why bother singling it out? You could just point to the state numbers, which would be a ridiculous fallacy, but more logical than singling out Montco as this huge, massive trouble spot for him.
