Among the small remaining stock of talking points that don't immediately produce howls of derision, Hillary Clinton likes to talk about her winning states that Democrats must win come November. Most of these are eye-rolling in and of themselves; e.g., California and New York would vote for an actual donkey over a Republican. But she does like to harp on her wins in some of the less deep blue states, as part of a last gasp effort to sway undecided superdelegates over to her side.
To that end, I can only hope these people read Mark Nickolas. His key point:
... of the 33 states that Bill Clinton won in 1992, Obama has won 18 of them, versus just 13 for Clinton. The other two were Michigan and Nevada (where Obama won the delegates and Clinton the popular vote). But Clinton conveniently omits any reference to these important facts.
If only the media would scratch a little before simply printing whatever argument a candidate makes...
