		<description>taken from an article written by michael barone

But Clinton seems to run stronger than Obama in the industrial (or formerly industrial) belt, running west from New Jersey through Pennsylvania and Ohio to Michigan and Missouri. Obama&#039;s weakness among white working-class voters in the primaries here suggests he is poorly positioned to win votes he will need to carry these states in November. This is not a minor problem -- we&#039;re talking about 84 electoral votes. 
Obama has also fared poorly among Latino and Jewish voters in every primary held so far. This is of consequence most notably in Florida, which has 27 electoral votes. In 2000, Al Gore won 67 percent of the vote in Broward County and 62 percent in Palm Beach County -- both have large Jewish populations. In this year&#039;s Florida primary, Obama lost those counties to Clinton by 57 percent to 33 percent and 61 percent to 27 percent. No Democrat can carry Florida without big margins in Broward and Palm Beach.

Obama cannot win working class voters, hispanics or
jews...and that means clinton is indeed a stronger
general election candidate...these polling numbers
confirm what I have been saying for weeks....but
the democratic party superdelegates are tone deaf,
they are more concerned abou their own re-election
than who is leading the nation</description>
