No surprises for any of those on where Obama and Clinton do better than each other, except Mississippi and maybe Texas.

One explanation on Mississippi is turnout,  When its all set and done white voters in Mississippi will voter overwhelmingly for McCain no matter who the Dem candidate is, black voters will vote overwelmingly for either Obama or Clinton.  However, turnout among African Americans will be higher wirth Obama than Clinton which would make the state closer, still not enough to win because the white vote will be too strong for McCain.

Do you think Clinton picking Obama would pull in the votes of people on this site (for example)?

Do you think a black man/white woman ticket would pull in the over 55s?

After three months (and possibly more) of this primary continuing, how much infighting between Clinton and Obama supporters is going to cause them to think McCain is a second choice to their first option?

Just a few thoughts to think about, that's all... Smiley

I doubt anything other than a small portion.  One thing supporters of both Obama and Clinton have in common is they hate bush.  McCain running a campaign on continuing Bush's policies isn't going to endure him to voters who hate Bush's guts.
