The Spring of Pain is well on its way to becoming the Summer of Weasels Gnawing on Entrails* for the Democratic Party, and may I be the first to congratulate them for it? There's a bit of lopsidedness to the general election results so far, you see:
PRINCETON, NJ -- In the 20 states where Hillary Clinton has claimed victory in the 2008 Democratic primary and caucus elections (winning the popular vote), she has led John McCain in Gallup Poll Daily trial heats for the general election over the past two weeks of Gallup Poll Daily tracking by 50% to 43%. In those same states, Barack Obama is about tied with McCain among national registered voters, 45% to 46%.
[snip of graphs]
In contrast, in the 28 states and the District of Columbia where Obama has won a higher share of the popular vote against Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primaries and caucuses, there is essentially no difference in how Obama and Clinton each fare against McCain. Both Democrats are statistically tied with him for the fall election.

And guess what? It's all about the swing states, baby.
Read on.
