winning a primary state has VERY LITTLE to do with winning it in the general election

[unblock]

i mean really, cain is the only republican left, and he managed to lose wyoming. is he really going to lose wyoming in the general election???

democrats chosing between obama and clinton is VERY VERY VERY DIFFERENT from chosing between either democrat and mclame.\

so please let's all cut the crap about which states matter and which don't as if a narrow victory by one or the other at the primary level means anything at all to the general election.

1. Well, a narrow victory by one or the other will determine who

will go on to the GE, so I reckon it does matter a little.

2. that's not what i meant.

of course determining who becomes the democratic nominee matters.

but there's been a ton of posts lately boasting about which states obama or clinton has won (big states/small states/red states/blue states -- hey, that sounds like dr. seuss!) and how that's somehow an indicator of which states they can delivery in the general election.
